I heard about this video from the good folks over at BoingBoing and just knew I had to share it with all of you here at The Late Age of Print. Now, I generally don’t make a habit of posting corporate promotional videos, but this one’s a gem. Truly. DK, a subsidiary of Penguin, originally [...]
I just came across this image by David Silver, who is a professor and leading cyberculture researcher based at the University of San Francisco. On September 13, 2009, he snapped this picture of the window display of Mrs. Dalloway’s Literary and Garden Arts, a bookstore in Berkeley, California. What’s that you see there, just right [...]
I’ve been working practically nonstop for the last several weeks on the remarks for all of my upcoming speaking engagements. Needless to say, I haven’t been as attentive to The Late Age of Print blog as I would like to be. So, to tide you over until I can compose something substantive of my own, [...]
I love The New Yorker, but I cannot ever seem to keep up with it. Case in point: I’m just now getting around to the June 22, 2009 issue.

The statement reads: This is an apology for [...]
Well, the sixth installment of the Harry Potter movie franchise, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, debuted last night just after midnight. My local paper here in Bloomington, Indiana (which unfortunately you cannot access without a subscription) reports that a large group of Potter fans gathered for the day at one of our movie theaters [...]
Just a quick follow-up to my post from earlier in the week, “Kindle and the Future of Print Journalism.” There I proposed that Amazon.com should sell its Kindle e-reader at a loss, with the understanding that the loss could be recouped through a revenue-sharing agreement with those newspapers publishers who choose to distribute their content [...]
My first interview about The Late Age of Print is now up on Scott Esposito’s wonderful blog, Conversational Reading. You can find the full text of the conversation here. Scott not only asks smart questions that cystalize key themes from Late Age, but he also presses me to elaborate on some of the more controversial [...]
Just a quick note to say how excited I am to be heading out today to the Library 2.0 Symposium, hosted by Yale Law School. The organizers have graciously invited me to present a version of my work-in-progress on the Amazon Kindle e-reader, which is an outgrowth of The Late Age of Print. The piece [...]
