Please stop complaining about e-book design

There is a lot of complaining about how badly electronic books are designed. It’s true that 90% of e-book designs are crap. Most designers can tell you that. Probably exactly the same thing they say about paper books. The only difference is that in case of p-books they sometimes spot and share a good stuff.

When we talk about e-books the one single design association is a mix of white background, smiling photostock figure and a huge “how-to” title. Does that mean, that well designed e-books don’t exist? And this is what really bothers me: recognized, experienced book designers either ignore e-books or reject them.

Please stop it. Open your imagination to e-books. There is a lot to be done. 90% of designs are waiting to be improved. This would be much better, if we all start to find and share great, inspiring examples of e-book design. »»»

Free-book of the Day: from Feedbooks to Twitter

There are still lots of people who are not aware of the existence of a great site offering e-books by classic authors (like Dumas, Tolstoy, Austen, Wilde or Nietzsche) as well as contemporary self-published writers – Feedbooks. I love this site from a first time I saw it. A totally new concept of reading is flourishing from here. All books are available in many formats, among them the ones specifically designed for reading on mobile devices, like ePub or Mobipocket.

And actually this is the big news: e-books for mobile devices. Why? Because e-readers and smartphones are the future of reading, and unlike computers, are very well suited to read fiction literature: they’re handy, you can take them everywhere. Result:  you don’t need to associate e-book reading with a desk activity any more. A sheer pleasure starts here. »»»
