ePublisher Website Design
April 1, 2008
Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains of the moon.
J.R.R. Tolkien
I think Tolkien could just as well have been describing the Internet. If there is one thing I can tell you about website design is that it is never stagnant, it never ever stays the same day to day. There is always some new trick that is more secure or some new function that is better and that fact should be reflected in any online customer oriented website. Read more

I dropped New Concepts Publishing off my links page today. I am getting really pissed off at continually reading the craptastic treatment that my eBook Writers are getting from what I consider thinly disguised Vanity Press scum bags. Can we stop promoting these assholes and giving them awards now? Please? Read more

The Future Now: Panasonic Wordsgear
December 14, 2007
Here is a glimpse of the shape of things to come. Panasonic has introduced a full color 5.6 Inch Super VGA (1024×600 211 PixelsPerInch) PDF reader. Plays movies and music and Adobe PDF eBooks. You turn the pages using the rubber button on the side. Like the Sony eReader this thing can use SD cards. With all this multi-functionality and color too with the current Japanese price it would translate to a relatively cheap US $350.00.
Unlike the Sony eReader the screen can be reversed easily for ease of use by both right handed and left handed readers. The Wordsgear measures 105mm X 152mm X 28.4mm (4.1 x 6.0 x 1.1 in.) and weighs 325g (0.71 lb.)
Right now there is only one English web site carrying it since it is only out in Japan and who by the way use a unique form of DRM’d PDF. So if you do not read Japanese Manga please wait. But… when this comes out goodbye Sony and so long Kindle.
Look, pretty silver case, single black rubber button, color screen!!!
