Readability Brings Focus to Online Reading
Everyone knows how hard it is to read articles on the web, on pages full of banners, sliders, widgets, sharing tools and pop-up windows of all kinds.

Polskie książki na iPada
Użytkownicy iPadów mogą mieć powody do zadowolenia. Dostępna jest na to urządzenie oferta większości polskich e-księgarń.

19 artykułów dla self-publisherów
W Internecie można coraz częściej trafić na artykuły o self-publishingu, ale wiedza na ten temat wciąż jest zbyt mała, by zmienić postrzeganie autorów niezależnych i ich książek. Stąd pomysł, by zebrać wpisy z Password Incorrect w jednym artykule. Może choć trochę pomogą przekonać samych autorów. Sporo zamieszania wokół tego dla mnie fenomenalnego zjawiska wywołała Amanda [...]
This is how I see self-publishers [picture]
I’m working on a series of articles about how technology can help self-publishers become more powerful and wanted to pick-up a good picture for a kick-off post. I think I’ve found a great one.

Seth Godin started Domino Project. His own, fantastic, new thing. Again. Again he’s teaching how to poke the box, but what he’s also teaching is that anyone should find his own way to do it. The success of Amanda Hocking doesn’t mean that millions of self-publishers around the world should try to write Trylle Trilogy. [...]

Uwaga! Konkurs literacki, nagroda – profesjonalne wydanie książki w serwisie Wydaje.pl
W Polsce organizowanych jest wiele konkursów literackich, ale ten jest dla mnie szczególny – zachęca do self-publishingu, czyli publikowania książek samodzielnie przez autora. Konkurs organizowany jest przez Wydaje.pl, prężnie działającą platformą self-publishingową, która powstała kilka miesięcy temu. Do tej pory autorzy opublikowali ponad 100 książek. Są wśród nich zarówno tytuły płatne jak i darmowe. Inicjatywa [...]
