rarely updated random thing.
Another post on a device featuring an eInk screen, how likely is that? I honestly don’t know, but this is another post about such a thing.
I have been an avid buyer of the devices US book giant Barnes & Noble has made under the Nook brand since 2012, when I purchased a Nook Simple Touch. Than, in 2015 (?) I upgraded to a Nook Glowlight Plus which I unfortunately broke a couple weeks ago. Recently, I purchased the latest iteration of Barnes & Noble’s 6″ eInk product: The Nook Glowlight 3.
Der Tolino Shine ist nicht mein erster E-Reader. Durch einen Nook Simple Touch ((einen Kindle-Konkurrenten des US-Buchgiganten Barnes&Noble, welcher wie der Tolino softwaremäßig auf Android basiert.)) bin ich bereits an das Lesen auf eInk-Displays gewöhnt. In gewisser Weise ist der Tolino Shine für mich also nur ein Upgrade.
…hat Malte Herwig für das DeutschlandRadio Kultur zu Stande gebracht. Nicht, dass es jetzt für Branchenkenner Bahnbrechendes enthielte, nein, der Fokus liegt auf den Empfindungen rund um das digitale Buch und der Aberwitzigkeit, vom eBook einen Kulturverfall zu erwarten. Chapeau, Herr Herwig!
Last saturday I finished a writeup on the iPad and its impact on the publishing industry for vocational school. Vocational school? Yeah, in early 2010 I finally realized that my studies in Kiel weren’t going anywhere, and so I quitted doing that and started investigating options. There are always more options than you could have imagined while you were still stuck in your old life, and so I managed to score a traineeship at an important and well known publishing house in Munich. Starting this traineeship was the best decision in my life, yet, even though it’s not yet clear where I will work past July.
But let’s get back to the writeup, it has been fun, even though finishing it has been a little bit stressful, and I would like to extend it a little more, as 15 pages filled with about 6000 words aren’t enough to my liking. In fact I think that this could actually lead to a book – and in the course to that larger text, I will publish little parts of my research here, in english. Thus, I will have to translate myself, but that’s always a good training.
I am really looking forward to reviving this blog, and having worked in the editorial office lately, I will finally deliver the book reviews promised long ago. Stay tuned.
