Is Social Reading the Future?
The first few chapters of Sarah Dunant’s new novel Sacred Hearts are available on Book Glutton, where readers can not only read those chapters but also read Dunant’s comments on the text. Readers may also leave their own comments or responses to other’s comments.
Every time I hear about ads in ebooks or Amazon’s latest digital landgrab, I get a little bit nervous about the potential pitfalls of digital publishing. Book Glutton somehow reassures me that more good will come from it than evil.
