What We’re Planning to Discuss on 9-23

We can’t deny that digital publishing is here to stay.

Apple appears intent on introducing a new tablet and amid the flap about the new Kindle, Best Buy and Verizon are preparing to take on I-Rex, a new e-reader that will partner with Barnes & Noble for bookselling. Though I-Rex has its critics, even they have to admit that it will challenge the Kindle because it supports eBooks purchased anywhere, allowing users to keep their books even if they switch devices.

So we’re wondering, if digital is the new form, what do we all need to do to prepare? Specifically:

Writers: Are you thinking about obtaining electronic rights and portable rights to your work?
Editors: Are you planning and formatting more content for e-readers? How much work does this add?
Publishers: What parameters are you setting for acquiring new work?

Join us to discuss these and other questions on www.friendfeed.com/editorchat tonight at 8:30pm EST.
