<html><body><div>hi mike,</div><div>
</div><div>like the record industry and CD sales, i really see the book industry as doomed once an iPod-like device comes out. I really dont know the nuts and bolts of the publishing industry (i stick to reviews) but i really believe in content as king. i feel if the authors can provide content about their new book as they are writing and the give the finished product away for free via download from their site to said iPod-like-reading-device? they will make their money from advertising on their site, book tours, speaking engagements, etc. i dont know if this is feasable or realistic but i truly believe some business model like this is coming in some form, soon, and we will know it when we see it? hope that helps? look forward to talking with you sometime soon in more depth. keep up the great blog. </div><div>

reminds me of that story where the government has a car that gets 100+ miles a gallon but wont release the technology to the public. just shows the middleman needs to be eliminated and content needs to go straight from author to reader. for free. its coming...

great post, great content. i couldnt agree more. gary vaynerchuk is your above post come to life. his new book is the blueprint for personal brands and social media. and authors who video blog daily and provide content about their content (books) and CARE about their readers=win. margaret atwood is kinda sorta doing this on twitter. in the end, authors will be giving their books away for free and making a living off the advertising $$ on their websites, speaking tours, etc.

how are there only 36 comments? this content is biblical. still the best kept secret in the world. next to radikon quintarellli, or giacosa.

awesome article, mike. in the future i think authors will give their work/content away for free, digitally, via their website. they will be compensated via advertising dollars, speaking tours, and consulting gigs. with so much content widely available on the internet for free, why would someone pay for books anymore? look at the music industry. love your blog, keep up the hustle.
