Subscribe RSSI asked Ned if Apple changes the eReader market - tomorrow. He explains that it may be a possibility. "The company is so good at designing user interfaces that it should never be ruled out. But with the iPod and the iPhone, a superior UI was just one of the advantages Apple brought. Its iTunes distribution channel also played a major part in its success, and that approach has now been replicated many times over with ebooks - even Sony now has its own digital bookstore."
A Conversation with Ned May of OutSell on the Apple Tablet
Jan 26, 2010
May is Director and Lead Analyst at Outsell. His specialty is Search, Aggregation & the Syndication market. Ned's perspective on the Tablet is unique. His focus is less on the technology and more on the content being serviced by the Apple Tablet. Ned explains that the Tablet stands to change content consumption. Until we understand the full breadth of what content will be available on Wednesday, Ned explains for now - all we have is a vision. The dream is a full media consumption device. This is where old media - professional books, text books, magazines and news papers will all be available. We are not talking about 16 shades of grey with a resolution of 600 x 800. We are looking at a 10 inch color screen that supports a resolution of 1920 × 1080. You now pair that with WiFi and 3G connectivity and old media becomes a dynamic publication that is updated in near real time.

- Develop sales, marketing, and publicity savvy;
- and, if necessary, self-publish (as did Irma Rombauer for The Joy of Cooking and James Redfield for The Celestine Prophesy).
No matter if you’re a literary fiction writer, a romance novelist, an academic looking to reach a popular audience, or a memoirist wanting to publish your life story, Putting Your Passion to Printshares a wealth of experience and insight from people who’ve been there and done that.
