O'Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing
Designing the Digital Means: The New Role of the Publisher in the 21st Century
February 13-15, 2012, New York, NY
[details]
The florescence of interactive platforms offers publishers a unique opportunity. Publishers, as content providers, must now distribute their content in unique interactive contexts. We advocate that publishers should actively produce these contexts themselves. Through good brainstorming, user-centered design, and the application of interaction design principles, publishers can lead us into an era of progressive e-reading design. By designing the means of digital distribution, publishers can themselves provide effective curated experiences.
