Bookmarks: Amazon buys Audible, and more

A few book-related links:

  • Amazon buys audiobook company Audible (c/Net)
  • The latest novelty item: embarrassing fake book covers (National Post)
  • Amazon U.K. and publisher Bloomsbury resolve a dispute (The Bookseller)
  • Eckhart Tolle, the latest Oprah’s Book Club pick, is Canadian. Who knew? (Associated Press)
  • Penguin to open Korea office (Chosunilbo)
  • http://sfwriter.com Robert J. Sawyer

    Amazon.com buys Audible.com and, days, earlier, Fictionwise.com bought eReader.com. Very interesting: we’re seeing the same sort of consolidation of ownership in the electronic sector that we previously saw in the print sector. :)

    I’m very pleased to see eReader get a boost, though, as I think it’s a demonstrably better format than Mobipocket (which Amazon owns). Interesting times.
