"With much of scholarly communications going digital, I wonder what strategies publishers and libraries have for the actual way digital content is likely to be consumed at the edge of the network. Most scholarly communications seems to be set up for reading a PDF on a desktop PC or laptop. Meanwhile, the world is going mobile and the race to control the reading interface is already well along. Librarians talk about Elsevier and open access, publishers talk about the NIH, but the future of scholarly communications has more to do with the mass infrastructure now being developed in the consumer market."

"...one area where existing ebook resellers could really learn from Scribd is in terms of data access and reporting. During one particularly frustrating conversation with an ebook reseller just last week, I learned that we'd be lucky to get sales reports nearly 6 weeks after any sales. These are digital sales. On the Web. Paid by credit card. No inventory to track, no shipping, no check or invoice processing. Compare that to Scribd, where I get an email every time a document is sold telling me how much it sold for, and the total lifetime earnings for that document."
