Innovation in publishing? (of books)
For years we have been reading books out of the closet and to be honest I love that, but with the current technique I think there are other possibilities, innovative, challenging and also fun to read. Since I would very much like to be one of the writers in such a setup. I put this innovative thought on paper.
The future of reading.
A few months ago, I was part of a brainstorm, a great brainstorm. We zaten samen bij de @gasfabriek in Deventer. A number of involved people who have a vision. A vision of what the future will look like. A great vision! But it was a vision that had yet to take shape.
In this brainstorm this was going to happen. In advance, a few rules were indicated, rules that had to steer towards freer thinking, no restrictions and can go completely the other way. Delicious!
Within Codidact (one of the companies of the Gasfabriek), a number of companies that want to go for growth. That can be growth from nothing to something, a kind of start-up, but also growth to a higher level, scale-up. These companies were also represented. All with a link to education. So, with a number of bollebose people together, the vision of a few real breed entrepreneurs, that's how future is written.
I sat there as a one-pipper, I happen to represent education. Yet I think that it is precisely this way of working, this way of thinking, that there is one that really suits me very much.
Yes, I too often brainstorm for myself. Actually, I would very much like to be one of those companies within the same gas plant. I tried, but unfortunately I didn't manage to really generate an audience.
Now my reading idea!
It would be great if there was a race entrepreneur out there somewhere in the big world. A breed entrepreneur who sees opportunities in the ideas I have. So at this once a first move. I went brainstorming myself about the future. In this case, the future of us read. Books may be less attractive in the future, but what happens instead?
My cause? I had written a book, a different book than, “The sunset of the sun can count on a good rise." It has actually been published and is now printed in my bookcase. No, I'm talking about a real story. With that story, I went to different publishers. The strange thing is, the publishers who are interested in my story are only willing to publish it as a printed version. why? Because e-books are too easy to distribute without having to buy them.
Strange, and no one dived into it! The answer seemed so simple! In the different textbooks you can actually see it everywhere. You will receive a type of login code with the book, a code associated with your IP address, for example, and that code will allow you to obtain underlying information in a specific environment. why kan dat niet met een gewoon leesboek?
Het antwoord is ook weer vrij simpel. Because then you would have to place part of the story digitally outside the original book and that would scare away readers. But is that so?

Very interesting, when you do the test session I would like to look in more detail

I believe that reading is like the clay that forms the artist (the reader), it is the imagination that is fascinating to read, bringing a story to a movie is seeing by the one who made it and not what we can create in our minds
@naf1971naf I don't necessarily take it to a movie. But I do take trips, next week I want to mimic what I mean...
It is not so crazy thought, you have the right to want to do different things, do not stop to realize your dreams 👍
This is a very good idea, I think! Technically it will be a challenge maybe because a 'copy/paste' is done in this way, although you can make it laborious of course. How popular the e-readen is, I do not know. Often I hear from people that they want to hold a real book and even smell... But I find this interesting and I follow!
@The Original Enrique Just when you add extra options, an e-read becomes interesting. I'm going to try and write a story from different points of view. I already have one, but it really requires a good working environment. I want to start a try session.
@peerke70 That is also true! Writing an 'ordinary' story is hard enough, so it's good to take on that challenge! Success hear! 👍
@The Original Enrique it's less complex than you think. I start today, next week I'm going to surprise you.
@The Original Enrique Part 1, the flakes test is ready and already on it. But this is just a part of the story. Saturday comes the grand finale
I imagine a book that all the copies have the same structure. but the end and some other key things change accordingly with the personality of the reader. Stupid idea, of course, but it´s good to day dream😉

@Paula Martins Why would this be a stupid Idea? We have movies in which you can choose different storylines why would this be different in books. It is a lot more work to write this but also a lot more fun. As a writer I like to write from different views. At this moment I have to choose wich one I like most. But why is this necessary?
I think this also sometimes when I read an ebook because you see other people's markers. You have something huge in common at that time. Namely that book....

Or even that one sentence. My idea is that people think it's pretty private. Maar ik ben geinteresseerd ! Just don't have any programmers left. Would like to set something up with you on Yoors for this.

@Henkjan de Krijger I was also thinking about Yoors because I can set up subscriptions here. For example, I could post an ebook on any platform and after purchase I can give people a login to read the rest of the book here. The only question is how soon the subscriptions will be shielded from non-subscribers.
@peerke70 Those are very, very shielded. Even a forwarded post, someone just has to pay for it again. And you can indeed offer bundles of eg 100 posts for the price of 80. (Adjustable of course)

Show more @Henkjan de Krijger I am writing a trial where I tell a story (snow) an instruction video for making a snowflake (cutting out a piece of paper), a few different story lines a photo blog. All linked to each other and thus intertwined. Not pompous, but purely to see how this works. (not yet in the subscription version but also to give others an idea of how this might work). I think I'm also going to work with a QR code to make any print versions possible.
@Henkjan de Krijger Ik plaats nu een voor een allemaal onderdelen gewoon zichtbaar om zo zaterdag de gehele matrixstructuur te laten zien. De 'vlokkentest' staat er alvast op
Ik vrees dat dit moeilijk zal kunnen concurreren met de bestaande e-boeken die je op een e-reader kan lezen.

Het is goed dat je een schrijver bent, in deze tijd zijn er meer lezers en niet bepaald boeken ...

Mijn voorkeur heeft nog steeds het gedrukte boek 😉 maar je ideeën zijn interessant.

el futuro puede ser impresionante y sin limites y la lectura puede ser parte de ese futuro, tendra por supuesto otras caracteristicas

Show moreThe future is built by people who dare to dream and think outside the box and then have the tenacity and patience to realize their vision step by step. So I can only encourage you in this challenge of yours. I'll be curiously awaiting to see it unfold. I think even with regular (printed) books there can be innovation. For example, I read a printed book recently where the author had inserted some quotes from other books but the quotes were only partially written in the book. Then you had a QR code that you could scan on your phone to see the full quotes online. It was the first time I saw something like that. The application it was used for was quite simple, but I don't see why it couldn't be combined with more developed ideas such as the ones you describe.
@Adriana My first attempt is now online... with it's limitations but I think it works: https://yoo.rs/innovatie-een-dag-op-het-ijs-hoofdverhaal-1613800595.html?Ysid=122391
