“ ... [N]one of the teens took any of the CDs, even though they were free. ‘That was the moment we realised the game was completely up,’ says a person who was there.”
- “From Major to Minor,” The Economist, Jan 10 08

“a book is a machine to think with.”
-‐ I. A. Richards, -‐ Principles of Literary Criticism -‐ 1924

1. inevitable that most analogue books will be transformed into digital books
![Page 6: Re Experiencing The Book](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5405e6a28d7f729e768b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2. current books translated into digital (digital is seen as a “colleague” of print)

3. we are beginning to re-‐imagine books – born digital in their new manifestations.
It is of this I will speak ... (a larger transformation in publishing)
![Page 8: Re Experiencing The Book](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5405e6a28d7f729e768b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2 archetypal forms of digital books:
Downloadable “ebooks” (Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader)
Networked books (Shortcovers, Google Editions)
![Page 9: Re Experiencing The Book](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5405e6a28d7f729e768b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
digital books are increasingly hybrid books: local (“cached”) -‐-‐ tethered to the network.

In computer science – stateful |vs| stateless
the digital book beckons toward statefulness. it’s keeping place –
across the open web, ereader, mobile. remembering us, remembering itself.

with digital editions
we walk away from owning books migrating to the licensing of books (libraries: the borrowing of books)
![Page 12: Re Experiencing The Book](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5405e6a28d7f729e768b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
first sale:
giving books to friends and family the privacy of the books we read borrowing books from libraries
we may lose these things as we gain others.

the question for all of us who care about books –
how will we experience the story? the book, providing an education.
![Page 14: Re Experiencing The Book](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051608/5405e6a28d7f729e768b4ec6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
what is the value of an ephemeral book? what is it that we truly value, in a book?

what is important about books is not really the books themselves but the people who make and read them
(this has always been.)

we are moving away from books /as/ objects, and toward books as networked experiences.

the book is not a static thing, anymore – not a long sequence of words, pictures.

books are responsive
– interactively –
shared experienced re-‐created

the narrative (its education) – \_ is turning into a scaffolding \_ to facilitate an environment \_ into which one inserts oneself \_ as a participant – as a reader.

how we read – what we need (in order to read)
are changing
in the minds of our youth

“[I]t combines text, audio and video. You can read the book, watch a video of [Nick] Cave reading the book and add “soundscapes”, music composed by him — or all three at the same time.”

mobile phones bring the world into our lives
a new generation of applications as phones become hosts for services –
not devices (like books)

mobile as my story teller, a new kind of companion
the narrative and the reader are integrating themselves –
combining people and presence – bringing the story into the place.

Layar, demostración en la calle “... Layar es una aplicación que mediante la cámara y el GPS añade una capa de información por encima de la realidad, la tan soñada realidad aumentada. Ya hablamos de Layar y comparamos con Wikitude.
Esta semana he hecho un vídeo con Layar mientras caminaba por el centro de Barcelona. Después de usarlo y juguetear, para hacer el video, me ha parecido un bluf. La aplicación es más espectacular que funcional, Google Maps es más útil. ”

“It's not as printers who use bits rather than ink. It's as translators between the human stories and the machines who have to take those stories, integrate them into a web of linked data, and make it possible for humans to ask questions, dream dreams, and tell new stories.”
