Norman Spinrad et le livre numérique

Message par jerome » ven. oct. 22, 2010 9:31 am

Norman Spinrad vient de se fendre d'un article sur l'ebook.

C'est ici

Voici le début :
THE FUTURE OF EBOOKS IS NOW
The eBook revolution has been proceeding at warp speed towards the next inflection point, namely the 2010 Christmas shopping season when perhaps a dozen ebook readers will be out there competing with the Kindle, the Sony, and the Nook, which themselves have been moving towards Universal eBook Readers, thanks in large parts to all sorts of free download ebook reader programs, which will convert many formats into other formats, as long as you download files, some pirate files included, onto your computer, to files that are readable on various ebook readers.

Amazon has one that allows you to read Kindle’s mobi format on your PC. The Nook already will read pdf, Word, and rtf, though they’re not downloadable directly from Barnes and Noble, and you have to input from your computer using a USB connection. Ditto, more or less, the Sony eBook reader. There’s an ebook reader called the Kobo which will be out in time for the Christmas feeding frenzy that appears to be able to possibly download and read eBooks in multiple formats without passing them through your computer to make the match. And if it doesn’t, it’s a good guess that some other new eBook reader or readers shortly will.
