Uudessa konseptissa ei muutu vain gutenbergilainen ajatus kirjasta vaan myös vanha näkemys sähkökirjasta painetun kirjan rikastettuna versiona. Kirjan esineellisyyden sijaan tärkeäksi nousee kirja tiedon käyttöliittymänä, verkottumisen ja lukemiseen liittyvät aktiviteetit, joista merkityksellisintä ryhmää voidaan kutsua sosiaaliseksi lukemiseksi, jolla tarkoitetaan lukemistoimintoja joihin liittyvät toiset ihmiset. Sosiaalinen lukeminen on vielä tarkkaan määrittelemätön alue, johon liittyy perinteisen yhdessä lukemisen ja kirjasta keskustelemisen lisäksi laaja määrä verkottuneita toimintoja jakamisesta jaetun tiedon vastaanottamiseen. Sosiaalisen lukemisen tutkimus on lähes olematonta, vaikka ilmiöstä veikataan merkittävää tekijään lukemisessa ja sähkökirjoissa. Tutkimus luo ensin katsauksen sosiaalisen lukemiseen historiaan ja etsii sitten digitaalisen kirjan vastaavia piirteitä. Se kysyy minkälaisista piirteistä sosiaalinen lukeminen on rakentunut ja etsii lukijan preferenssejä niihin.

  • Netgalley Acquires Bookish.Com
    NetGalley Acquires Bookish.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 12, 2016—NetGalley, an industry-standard service to promote forthcoming titles to readers of influence, has acquired Bookish.com, an editorial site designed to connect readers with books and authors. Bookish.com is an online resource serving readers of all genres through author interviews, book recommendations, and literary roundups. Founded by Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group (USA) and Simon & Schuster, Bookish.com was launched in February 2013 and was acquired by Zola Books in January 2014 along with Bookish Recommends, a book recommendation engine. As a sister company to NetGalley, Bookish will remain an editorially independent, standalone site with its continued commitment to connecting visitors with interesting and relevant content. Zola Books will retain Bookish’s book recommendation technology, which they have rebranded Zola Recommends. “I'm proud of how the Zola Books team built Bookish.com into the vibrant and exciting experience it is today. As Zola intensifies its focus on creating superlative book technology services, we are delighted that Bookish.com will have an opportunity to fulfill its mission under NetGalley’s stewardship,” Zola Books CEO Joe Regal says of the sale. Following the acquisition, NetGalley and Bookish.com will continue to grow their respective communities, while exploring natural ways to connect the editorial content between the two websites to best serve readers, publishers, and authors. "We are very excited to bring Bookish's consumer-facing, curated, editorial voice to the NetGalley family," says Fran Toolan, CEO of NetGalley and Firebrand Technologies. "We view Bookish.com as yet another way that our client publishers can help their books succeed." Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

  • An Authoritative Look at Book Publishing Startups in the United States
    An Authoritative Look at Book Publishing Startups In the United States Thad McIlroy The Future of Publishing January 10, 2017 [email protected] Book Publishing Startups 1 Introduction This study offers an overview of the book publishing startup scene in the United States. The core of the report is a detailed spreadsheet listing some 900 companies, mostly founded since Amazon launched the Kindle in 1997. What makes the spreadsheet particularly valuable is that it lists more than just the company name. For each company it also provides: Brief mission statement Type of product or service provided Funding Current operating status (whether still in business) Just as importantly the report includes summary data that defines the scope of the book startup industry, including: Total funds raised by all startups Average per funded company Median per funded company % of startups with declared funding % of startups no longer in business % of Exits/Acquisitions/Mergers Number of IPOs This offers, for the first time, a measurement of how significant the startup activity is to the larger book publishing industry. I encourage you to pause here and turn to the spreadsheet for several minutes to get a sense of its scope and detail. (After page 8, or download it separately in Excel format.) January, 2017 Book Publishing Startups 2 The Startup Listings I began compiling this list in early 2012 after a presentation I made at the Tools of Change conference on the topic of startups. At that time I learned that Michael Bashkar was maintaining a list of startups (http://bit.ly/2irUvec). His list however included just the company name and URL, had only 325 names and was not regularly maintained (last update March, 2015).

    Title: Social networks and the space of bookselling Bio: Eben Joseph Muse is a researcher at Bangor University specializing in the nature of space and place in a digital age, UK. Associate editor of the Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds ([email protected]). Abstract This paper will present the initial findings of a study into the strategies and tactics used by booksellers to create an on-line identity as a public space of ideas, culture and especially community. Algorithms and procedures of a social network platform shape the norms of behavior, of connectivity and of content on that platform. In other words, the strategies and tactics that facilitate the practice of everyday life in a shop are unlikely to be as effective in an on-line environment. Laura J. Miller has documented the attempts of booksellers to transform their retail establishments into "vital community institution[s]" (1999), a process used by independent bookstores. They used traditions from the 18th century printing houses as a way to compete with the chains and superstores that arose in the second half of the twentieth century. The rise of on-line book selling that has been led by Amazon and the ebook has forced independent bookstores and bookseller associations to rely heavily on this discourse and commidification of public space, while at the same time requiring them to re-articulate it in the on-line spaces of their web sites and social networks. This articulation of the space on- line, in text and images, provides an opportunity to read the text of community; the creation and maintenance of Facebook pages and web sites requires the store owners to inscribe an identity which previously was often informal and emergent.
