As traditional print struggles, digital publishing is finding new ways to distribute new content, but still seeking to define itself and--especially--find new revenue streams. Propelled by the surprise popularity of Amazon's Kindle, e-books and e-readers are hot. Google Books is generating another sort of heat in the publishing and library worlds. Mobile e-publishing is also hot; everyone is looking for the next killer app. Meanwhile publishers keep looking for alternatives to low-paying online ads. They are experimenting (again!) with subscription content, popular themes now being 'premium' and 'targeted.' Yet e-publishing's internal turmoil is doing nothing to slow its inroads against print. Will textbooks be the first publishing mastadon to go extinct? Can print fight back with its own new technologies, and borrow some from its rival? This TecTrends Reporter covers the digital publishing waterfront, from mobile devices to e-readers to the ever more blurred boundary between electronic publishing and print.
