Here’s a summary of what’s happening in e-books from the Wall Street Journal– discusses Lulu and Smashwords along with others. This article contrasts big presses that do e-books with self-publishing, skipping what interests me more, which is small presses like Hamilton Stone Editions.

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010… is the name of an interesting blog by Caleb Crain that seems to have been originally about the nineteenth century (I found it when looking up information about translations of Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons). He’s interested in a lot of the same issues as I am here, and has published a book of selected blogs with Lulu, available at Steamboats at Lulu. This seems like a great way to use the self-publishing technologies, to make a hard copy of selected blogs.
Lulu, by the way, is a good free-upload publishing place– they produce books for e-downloads or print or photo books, or just about anything– great example of putting the means of production in the writers’ hands, with the question arising next, how to get the products in the hands of readers.
