Brown Bag Lunch: Beyond eBooks: eReaders and Information Content Opportunities
APRIL 14 11:30 am – 1:30 pm ET
By all indications, we are in the midst of a “tipping point” in the adoption of portable devices for consuming digital information content, especially content traditionally delivered in print. Given the implications for the book publishing industry, it isn’t surprising that the majority of public discussion has focused on eBooks generally, and trade book publishing specifically.
The goal of this Brown Bag session is to focus instead on the implications of the widespread adoption of eReaders, tablets, and increasingly capable and prevalent smart phones for other media and information services, including information products targeted to more specialized business, professional, and education markets.
- How should developers of new information products respond?
- Where do the emerging devices solve real user and/or provider problems, and where do they fall short?
- What has been learned already from the development and adoption of mobile content products in business, professional, and education markets?
- What new opportunities can be addressed?
- How should business models be adapted?
