Apparently my request for accreditation to Ebook Lab Italy is successful: Friday, March 3 and then go to Rimini to attend the second day of meetings dedicated to the magical world of digital books, a world where people launches ducks and balloons and nothing is as it seems .
The program is very rich and varied. The first two meetings of the morning will be devoted to business models for digital newspapers and magazines and for the school: especially noteworthy the second, held by Sanford Forte, Director of Flat World Knowledge , a company that deals with creating an online catalog of textbooks edited by qualified teachers and authoritative, constantly updated and distributed for free online with a Creative Commons license. A very ambitious project.
After the coffee break, here is the highlight of the day: Libroshima: Chronicles of the eBook after , Carraronan conference held by the Duke himself! The question we ask everyone is: wearing his infamous Pickelhaube ? What they say no, but the hope is the last to die. I will update in real time, with lots of images in real time.
In the rest of the morning we go into the "physicality" of the eBook product, with two conferences on the typeface of tradition and the digital revolution and layout and gestalt of the eBook. Understand? Gestalt, not jerking off!

| Campari and white wine, one of my favorite appetizers |
follow lectures and workshops on topics varied, from new opportunities offered by the standard 3 to ePub device coming next, highly anticipated and essential to drink at the end of the day.
In short, the ideas were not lacking: The opportunities dall'ebook intrigue and fascinate me, I hope the conference proves to be an opportunity for real and constructive analysis. The premises and promises are good, we'll see if they are maintained: to hear from these pages for a detailed guide of the day.
