Director of Deaf Ministries for Baptist International Outreach Interview starts at 12:12 and ends at 40:04 “If I’m getting a book that I’m independently loading on [to a Fire tablet] I tend to do it in the Google Play books and not the Kindle app, mainly because it’s easier to put it on there. ” News “U.S. Trends in Arts Attendance and Literary Reading: 2002-2017” (PDF) - report by the National Endowment for the Arts “NEA Study Finds Small Dip in Adult Reading” by Jim Milliot at...

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...

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...

Editorial Director at Thomas & Mercer Interview starts at 16:49 and ends at 43:56 “It’s interesting to think about readers around the world being able to find these books about a chemistry teacher turned homicide detective in Seattle, Washington. And I think that’s the global power of stories. Great stories are something that appeals to everyone. Figuring out the best ways that we can make it that anyone who wants to can pick up these books is really something we’re working...

8/17/2018
More
Author of the Tracy Crosswhite and David Sloane mysteries Interview starts at 1:30 and ends at 35:00 “I’d say the primary difference between Thomas & Mercer and my experience with Big 5 publishing is that Thomas & Mercer never stops selling my books. 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...

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...

Jim Jones, right, Associate Professor of Management at University of Nebraska at Omaha Interview starts at 9:03 and ends at 40:50 “In the classroom, I really do strongly feel that attention is so critical to actual understanding that the more that you can remove the electronic connection and the focus on inputting electronically or--even worse sometimes I think, is passively taking pictures of the screen--the better.” News Is Amazon working on another phone? ...

We’ll collect the money--we don’t know how we’re going to spend it yet, but we’re going to hit these businesses with this tax.’ That’s just not the way to govern, in my opinion.” News Atul Gawande to head Amazon-Berkshire-JP Morgan health organization, as covered in The New York Times...

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...

Senior Editor, The Information Interview starts at 11:36 and ends at 43:50 “[Amazon’s HQ2 decision] will be before the end of the year, unless something radical changes. I don’t think it’s imminent. It’s probably--I’m guessing here--but it’s probably months away. I would guess like towards the end of the summer, early fall. That’s really not based on hard facts but kind of reading between the lines.” News Data Guy’s presentation to the 2018 Science Fiction Writers of America...

Author of the Frank Adversego Thriller Series Interview starts at 11:14 and ends at 35:51 “Alexa’s pretty primitive. I think it’s very concerning from a cybersecurity point of view, because people have already learned how to spoof Alexa. Just a few days ago they came up with the equivalent of a dog whistle-type command that you couldn't hear, but Alexa could. Someone could turn it on and off.” News “An Amazon Echo recorded a family’s conversation, then sent it to a random person in their...

If I’m interested in something I’ll take a look at it later on, but during the reading process I don’t really want to leave.” News Jeff Bezos interviewed in Berlin by...
