This is the first blog of the semester for E-Publishing. Starting at 11 the lecture jarred slightly with the freshers schedule but least it leaves time for a small lie in :).
The lecture was interesting to be fair, and full of random new terms like 'disruptive technology' and 'POD', which always help to drag your attention back from the window. If anything the lecture has proved how complicated publishing is how uncertain its future is. The lecture also highlighed how vague and numerous definitions of E-Publishing are, something which will hopefully change as the course develops. Although this said this vagueness probably helps the mediums involved in E-Publishing to be more free harder for corporate control which is no bad thing in a world of Rupert Murdoch.
All I need now is the book and it looks like E-Publishing is going to be good interesting times ahead. This ends the most purposeful blog I think I've ever written, and i hadn't even got to the fact that I'm the only boy yet (giggidy?). Although clearly my attendance of the lecture is driven by a love of E-Publishing...
