Evolution of digital reading …   eBook Digital   = Networked   = iBook
Library Network Reader
Reading in the cloud = Sync’d Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?
    Metcalfe's lawThe  value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2)
The value of a network is not access to content. The value of a network is access to people who have content and opinions about content.

Editor's Notes

  1. Kindle – WhispeSync TechnologyApple -
  2. Value of network is not access to content, it’s access to people!
  3. Semantic Web is a term coined by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) director Sir Tim Berners-Lee[1]. It describes methods and technologies to allow machines to understand the meaning - or "semantics" - of information on the World Wide Web[2].
