Posts Michael Mace was morning keynote speaker for the second day of the ALIA Information Online conference.
He was involved with ebook platforms and readers ten years ago. He covered the reasons why they did not fly then. He suggested that circumstances are different in 2010 and we need to be prepared now for the huge changes they will bring.
I interviewed him after his keynote. I asked him to elaborate on his vision for ebooks that are not tied into the print metaphor and the role that librarians can play there. There is background audio that can be a little distracting.
