A very good article on the subject. I agree with Bill 100%. BTW. Although Bill writes about the iPhone, these numbers apply to the iPod Touch as well.

Are you thinking of entering the Japanese market with your ebooks? Once again, PDF is your friend. Most of the recently introduced i-mode phones ship with Adobe Reader LE. You can find the technical specification on the NTT DoCoMo website.

Interesting discussion on the O’Reilly website. And a good laugh for those obsessed with fonts.

Yes, even those with a lot of practical experience with publishing ebooks agree that you cannot escape PDF. It’s become the digital equivalent of paper on all sorts of mobile devices. With Sony including PDF on the list of formats supported by their readers device, why fight PDF? Embrace it.

I just published the first edition of “Publishing eBooks for the iPhone and iPod Touch, 1st ed.”, an introduction to publishing ebooks for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It’s a short ebook that gives you the basic facts and numbers. And it’s a good example of how an ebook on an iPhone can look like. It’s only 1.99 USD.

A Good Article about Amazon.com’s Kindle

David A. Wimsett has a good article about Amazon.com’s Kindle. I agree that it is a marvel of technology, not necessarily that of design, but I want to wait and see how Amazon.com will treat publishers who put their books on the Kindle in the future. Still, this is a very important delivery platform and I will be writing about it on this blog soon.
