I enjoyed this article in the Guardian proposing a service called Bookify. No doubt this is the sort of thing that Amazon (and possibly Google etc) are trying to create.

I’m currently listening to the audiobook of “Free”, by Chris Anderson. For people who work in publishing, there’s a lot of interesting things that are worth considering. I’ll write more on this when I’ve finished the book – you can get your own free electronic copy of “Free” here, either as text or audio.

Also, for those who aren’t so keen on Google or the idea of free publishing, there’s an amusing short article here entitled Sergey Brin Doesn’t Understand How Book Publishing Works, complete with disparaging funny picture.
