Books and Blooks

Here’s an interesting one; Mills and Boon (obviously a favourite imprint of mine) are launching a series of books for your mobile. I don’t ever think the book will die but I do think E-books will be big news over the next few years. (Courtesy of Katie Ledger)

Also there was a great article by Nick Cohen in the Observer on Sunday about Blooks (a merger of "blog" and "book". He’s a judge on the 2007 Lulu Blooker awards and gives a pretty good run down as to where things are.

Lulu’s worth checking out if you’re into writing. It allows anyone to upload a book – if someone buys it they’ll print it out, send it and pass on a percentage of the profit to the writer.
