Digital Book World day 1

Digital Book World was really fabulous today.

A lot of great ideas were presented about branding, marketing, and readers (often called consumers.) Highlights include some interesting survey results from Verso on the attitudes of readers (some good news in there) and some strong opinions about pirating (some of which made me want to say, “ARGH” out loud.)

I’d write more about the specifics but I’m about to nod off on my keyboard….sadly I ended this way yesterday and will likely do so again tomorrow.

You can follow the conference on twitter, #dbw

(In addition to all the things I learned in the sessions and networking I’ve also learned my usual post shooting work flow is not at all conducive to the live(ish) posting I was doing… next time I’ll sort something more efficient out!)

Pre DBW tweetup

I went to the pre Digital Book World Conference tweetup tonight and I’m so glad I did. Everyone I’ve met has been nice, helpful, incredibly smart and fun and I’m so excited to be covering events over the next two days.

I’ll try and write more tomorrow, but I must get some sleep now.

Pictures will be going here.
