10. PRINTED VS ONLINE
• Printed is cheap once it
reach economy of scale
• Provision's first hand
experience - from Visual
guide to full-color with
CD/DVD
• The drawback of printed
media
10
11. PRINTED DISTRIBUTION
• Expensive, monetary-oriented,
slow, biased, unadjustable and
outdate
• Mostly consignment (ฝากขาย):
publishers carry all the burden of
stock
• Too heavy and fragile to relocate/
move
• Prone to damage or stolen and
obsolescent
11
12. BOOK & THE INTERNET
• Internet = Instant electronic
distribution
• Q: is the screen is as good as
paper?
A1: Who cares?
A2: It keeps going better
• Research show less knowledge
retention from e-media, but…?
• Distribution cost just shifted to
platform owner (Apple, Google,
etc.) 12
13. PIRACY & PROBLEMS
• Scanned book - just for ads
• Google VS publisher
• Substitute goods and
service disruption
• Searchable (and prone to
be copied) content,
especially for student's
homework, thesis, etc.
13
14. REAL THING IS ON THE WEB
• Diamond ring
• Land title deeds & Maps
• Unlimited online space
VS limited physical
space (but which one is
read more is still
questionable)
14
15. SOCIAL MEDIA
• Facebook, Instagram,
LINE, Pinterest,
Whatsapp, Snapchat,
Linkedin, etc.
• Reading as a social
activity (similar to
2nd & 3rd screen while
watching TV)
15
17. SOCIAL MEDIA &
HOW WE LEARN
• Social media is changing the
way people read and
assimilate knowledge
• non-fiction vs fiction
• need-to-know & impromptu
• video, interactive, etc.
17
18. SOCIAL MEDIA
& PUBLISHERS
• Social media as a advertising
and PR / CRM channel thru
communities
• Publishers have chance to
listen and talk back directly to
readers
• Traditional publishers have to
adapt to do-it-for-free Social
media model
• A LOT of additional workload!
18
19. SOCIAL MEDIA AS
NEW BUSINESS
• What is revenue model for publisher?
• Advertising
• Subscription
• Direct selling
• Other revenue model
(Still NO generally
accepted conclusion :-)
แต่ publisher ต้องหาที่ยืนใน
โลกออนไลน์ให้เจอ :-(

24. BOOK & MAGAZINE & NEWSPAPER
VS
E-BOOK & E-MAGAZINE & E-NEWSPAPER
• Book : one-time release (“edition”)
while Magazine & Newspaper :
periodical & daily
• e-book : still in “edition” as book?
• e-magazine / e-newspaper is declining
FAST as advertisers move to online
• Instant knowledge from web, search
and Social media replace the need of
e-magazine / e-newspaper
• Current status of e-book in Thailand
(< 0.5% market penetration)
24
25. CONTENT IS THE KING, REALLY?
• From limited to
abundance of
(unqualified?) content
• Then come “Curation”
..search and catalog..
(Google, etc.)
• Do the editor is still
important?
