Print is Dead’s Jeff Gomez on Bloget’s Saving Book Publishing Post

I’ve held off on commenting on Henry Blodget’s recent post entitled How to Save the Book Publishing Industry, as much has already been written.  But I do want to point out Print is Dead’s Jeff Gomez’s take on the article, which I think sums things up nicely.

…this all just goes to show what publishers are up against. I mean, do people really think — in the face of enormously changing consumer habits and online trends — that it’s that simple? The fact is, many people do indeed think it’s as easy as just slashing prices.

Click through for Jeff’s entire post which likens Blodget’s argument to a past Seinfeld episode.

  • Thanks, great review to the important points. Some really great thoughts here, very comprehensive.  I appriciate that!

  • Wow. I was not expecting to love this book the way I did. Gomez is a master, weaving the Napster revolution into a tumultuous upheaval of the Film, Books and Music industry. He absolutely nails it. Yes, it changes things for publishers, and yes authors are (if they're stubborn) getting ripped off, but smart marketers are learning how to make money, and thrive in this new age. Definitely pick this one up!
