Re: Apple publishing news

Doug,

Very interesting, but your thoughts throw up a couple of points and I'd
appreciate the benefits of your wisdom:

1. Has Apple released any guidance for small independent publishers (I can't
find any)? How, for example, will publishers like Betty Mackey get their
content on to the iPad?
2. I take your point about video and rich interactivity, but do you really
think that plant monographs, for example, need that sort of content? Or do
you think they would best be published as online databases and not as books
of any kind? Would people pay ?$20 for permanent access a comprehensive
online database on, say, phlox?

Thanks,

Graham
