Host of Evil Genius Chronicles Interview starts at 10:55 and ends at 40:51 “Really and truly [with a DIY book scanning device] I’m moving my hoarding from physical hoarding to digital hoarding. But I’m in favor of that maneuver. The bits and bytes are cheaper to store, and they take up a lot less room, and I’m okay with that.” News Data Guy’s presentation slides at Digital Book World “Alexa, launch Fortnite” at Amazon’s Dayone blog - October 11, 2018 “Xbox One bundles at Amazon will come with a

Executive Director of the Book Industry Study Group Interview starts at 5:19 and ends at 36:00 “With respect to blockchain, there’s an opportunity to--I wouldn’t necessarily say disrupt--but to create an alternative to the closed ecosystems that Amazon has with Kindle and that other online platforms have and to provide peer-to-peer trading as well as easier e-commerce networks for publishers. It might be a pipe dream, and it might be that Amazon beats us to the punch and creates something that

CEO of Publica Interview starts at 7:05 and ends at 42:10 “So a book token in our eReader app is going to be used as part of the cryptographic protection of the book to authorize you to read it by proving that you bought it. There’s another token that we made called the Pebble (PBL). It’s a ticker on exchanges, and if you want to go looking for what the Pebble is doing in the world you would look for the PBL ticker. It’s a token, but it only works as money. It’s not specific to a single book.”

And I think that’s the global power of stories. Great stories are something that appeals to everyone.

When I’m with a Big 5 publisher, my book would come out and there would be publicity leading up to the book’s release and then there would be publicity for about three weeks after the book’s release.” Robert Dugoni website Robert Dugoni’s author page

Partnerships Manager for the Innovation and Digital Health Accelerator at Boston Children’s Hospital Interview starts at 7:44 and ends at 28:24 “One of the barriers with voice in general is you don’t know what’s out there. You don’t really know like you do with a phone what app options you have, so it’s a little bit harder for people to find new things. Amazon in general is pretty concerned about that, because they don’t just want people to use it for their three basic cases, being an alarm, music,

Author of “The List” in Amazon’s The Real Thing Collection Interview starts at 13:23 and ends at 39:21 “I think we look at the Big Five publishers as being kind of set in their ways and really traditional, but I actually think that everyone is looking to try new things. I think everyone is realizing that just putting out a hardcover in the exact same way isn’t going to always work in a way that they would hope. It’s more that I’m just excited about different ways of approaching storytelling.” (Photo
