Self-publishing for the iPad
Before we knew what to call the iPad, I expressed hope that Apple’s reinvention of the book (which may end up being a big part of the iPad story) would include a sort of iLife for writers: a simple, fun, and elegant way to self-publish books. Apple didn’t do this, but it looks like smaller services like Smashwords will do their best. Whether they’ll do an Apple-level job of it remains to be seen.
Sounds very interesting. I might publish a load of stuff I’ve written in a big e-book bundle, not out of any vain hope that I might be rewarded with fame or riches, but just as an excuse to mess about with a new platform.
