If you have read this blog before you would likely notice that I tend to be interested in photography a good deal even if I'm not a very good photographer yet. Art Wolfe recommended an e-book by a photographer friend, William Neill, and I have to say that I'm impressed, not just with Mr. Neill's photography, but with his e-book publishing style. Not only do you get a cleanly formatted PDF of his photographs, but each photography is a high-resolution file that can be "zoomed in on" for further detail review of the photographs he made. This is what e-books should be, not merely regurgitations of the print versions with all of their limitations of size, print quality, and weight. Hopefully McGraw-Hill and other textbook publishers will catch the cluetrain soon and awake to the possibilities of the Internet. Stop protecting your dwindling print revenue streams traditional publishers!
