"Gutenberg 2.0: le futur du livre" / iRex demoes Mobipocket on iLiad

[Hadrien]

I just came back from the "Salon du livre" in Paris, where French publisher M21 Editions presented a new book called "Gutenberg 2.0: le Futur du Livre" (Gutenberg 2.0: The Future of the Book). Written by Lorenzo Soccavo, the book is dedicated to e-books and the newer generation of e-reader devices.

Here's the table of contents:
1- Le livre n'est pas un produit comme un autre (The book isn't a product like any other)
2- De nouveaux appareils de lecture (New reading devices)
3- Le renouveau de la presse (The revival of the press)
4- Le livre 2.0, et après ? (Book 2.0, what's next?)
5- Réinventer la chaîne du livre (Reinventing the book industry)
6- La littérature à l'ère numérique (Literature in the electronic era)

M21 will release this book both as a paper book as well as an e-book (in Mobipocket format). Btw, iRex was present @ the same booth and guess what -- they showcased Mobipocket on the iLiad!

I don't speak French. Any idea if this book will be translated into English, by chance?

[Hadrien]

Not yet, but that's also part of the reason why I'm talking about this book around here, if there's enough people interested in a translation, it might happen.

Ahh, in another thread I was wondering about the French (Mobipocket) connection at the show

Mobipocket may then be here soon soon rather than Irex soon, great! My French is too rusty so I would also like the e book en Anglais.
