Something Is Rotten In The State Of E-Book Publishing

[Commentary] The publishing industry has a problem. The old guard haven't innovated. And neither their business models nor their products embrace the digital books revolution. And what do we, the book-buying public, want? Cheaper prices, as ever, but we're also all expecting books to move beyond dead text and into something much more dynamic, something loaded with rich media, something that makes use of the color and graphics of our tablet screens, and perhaps the social networking powers they also sport as apps. Because those kinds of books sure as heck aren't in Amazon's top-selling Kindle list right now.
