Digital Campus #38 – E-Book Redux

Although we covered the topic in depth in 2007 on Digital Campus #16, we simply had to revisit the idea—and the reality—of e-books on the latest episode of the podcast given interesting new developments. With the launch of the Kindle 2 and the mobile version of Google Book Search (which yours truly nailed as a prediction on Digital Campus #35), Tom, Mills, and I once again debate the merits of electronic books. And through the magic of podcasting, we are able to talk with our former selves via flashbacks. We also cry crocodile tears over the demise of Ruckus and Juicy Campus, look at history in Google Earth 5, and discuss YouTube’s new licensing and download functionality. Plus, as always, our picks for useful sites, reading, and software. [Subscribe to this podcast.]
