"Enhanced ebooks and tablet apps clearly offer new ways to present material and engage readers. Yet some of the software restrictions and rights deals that these ebooks, apps and their platforms use can make them unfriendly to librarians, archivists, and future users. How can authors, designers, and publishers best exploit these new opportunities while avoiding their current and potential downsides?"
Panelists:
David Dobbs, moderator (As well as an author, blogger, and ebook experimentalist).
John Dupuis, science librarian at York University and blogger at Confessions of a Science Librarian.
Evan Ratliff, co-founder and editor, The Atavist.
Amanda Moon, senior editor, FSG/Scientific American Books.
Carl Zimmer, author, journalist, and blogger.
Dean Johnson, creative director of Brandwidth, developer of The Exoplanets, an iPad book/app to be published this fall by Scientific American Books/FSG.
Should be interesting. I'm a fan of Carl Zimmer's books and blog (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/loom/) though I have no idea where he stands on ebooks/apps.
