Not e-published–d-published!
Sometime this last year, amid the Kindle and the Sony eReader and the iPhone, sometime in this maelstrom of digital awareness, I crossed over into new territory, me and all my formerly e-published compadres. At some point, e-published has stopped being a hang-up as the reading public scrambles for new and different content for its reading devices. At last, the world is catching up with the one I joined 10 years ago, and I have gone from e-published to d-published.
Gee, it’s been 10 years since I signed my first publisher contract. Then, e-published meant available by download file or a CD-Rom for your computer to read. Then came the Rocket eBook reader and those files went mobile. But that didn’t last nearly long enough. It was simply ahead of its time.
Now, it would appear that just about everyone is d-published, available in a variety of formats to suit every taste. So I guess it’s time to welcome the rest of the world to my world. That would be the world wherein we’re all digitally published.
Oh–and still available in print too!
