Editor's Notes
- By “books” we mean not just “classic” print and ebook but also an evolving “container” in many formats that contains text, images, media Expansive definition of “book”
- This creates inherent structural problems in book market – demand & supply are out of sync – too many romance novels and Boomer memoirs, not enough breadth of inventory
- PM who moved LexisNexis E1B research business from Windows to Web Biig data projects at NASA, LN, IC I owned a publishing company and realized that I was the bottleneck and could not scale. I asked myself is there a way I can do this in silicon so it will scale?
- Pivot from static to dynamic
- Seque: how many Facebook groups would you say there are?
