A new publishing model?
The cover story in this week’s Publisher’s Weekly is about an interesting new way to publish books and still make money. Counterintuitively, it includes giving away a free e-book. It also includes some pretty creative ways to monetize the effort. But it isn’t all about the book.
Maybe it isn’t all about the book anywhere anymore. Maybe it never will be again.
Good luck to Cory Doctorow. I hope is experiment is wildly successful!
