Bookmarks: Google Editions, and more

Sundry links from around the Web:

  • Google announces that its online e-book service, known as Google Editions, will launch sometime in the first half of 2010. According to a report on CNET, Google will take a 37% cut on titles sold through its own website; for books sold through a third party – such as Amazon – the publisher would get a mere 45%
  • Delivering the keynote at Frankfurt’s TOC conference, Cory Doctorow says that the publishing industry is bent on destroying itself through a restrictive approach to copyright
  • The jurors for the 2010 Griffin Poetry Prize are: Anne Carson, Kathleen Jamie, and Carl Phillips

    As I read the Google Editions announcement, any bookseller will be able to offer this download service under their own brand and their own domain name. Your indie bookstore can offer an e-book selection as large as Amazon, simply by branding the service with their own graphics (rather than having to set up a complete e-commerce platform from scratch). Come to think of it, even you or I could get into the business.
