The Nook is No More

I received the following link from Lynda Burch, publisher of Guardian Angel Publishing.  Given all the difficulties I've read about with Barnes & Noble, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise; however, I found myself yelling, "WOW," when I read it.

It seems we are in an ever changing world, both from a consumer and producer perspective as writers.  I am a fan of a good, old fashioned book and an avid bookstore browser so do not own an e-reader of any kind.  I know my books will be published in electronic format as well as traditional, so I may need to purchase one in the near future.  Guess it will not be the Nook.  Crazy!

Please share your thoughts on the future of e-readers vs. "real" books if you are so inclined.

Beware


I received the following information from Lynda Burch, publisher of Guardian Angel Publishing and publisher of my upcoming picture book, The Little Bug (currently under contract with GAP).
 
Beware of encroaching rights...you will particularly want to read this if you have ever uploaded a photo to Facebook, Instagram or Flickr as "the rules on who can exploit  your work have now changed radically, overnight."
