The Rebirth of E-publishing | |
|

| Time: 09:05 EST/14:05 GMT | News Source: MSNBC | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

NEW YORK PUBLISHERS gathered last week at a Manhattan conference organized by the Open e-Book Forum and sponsored by Microsoft to showcase their Tablet PC. The Tablet PC is their new computer, sans keyboard, that is shaped more like an 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper notepad than the traditional laptop—and hence a more natural electronic platform for books and magazines. I tend to be cautious about Microsoft-dominated conferences that portend new media breakthroughs. My first such experience was back in 1986, when Bill Gates invited a bunch of publishers to Seattle to convince us that CD-ROMs were “the new papyrus,” primed to revolutionize our business, and we believed him. Unfortunately, over the next decade, for media companies CD-ROMs primarily turned out to be a way to lose many millions of dollars. | ||
