Over the next couple of days I'll be filling up my brain at the O'Reilly Tools of Change for Publishing conference — taking place, conveniently, here in New York. I'm giving a talk today called Books as Conversations, and participating in a panel, Are New Devices Breathing New Life into e-Books?, tomorrow. Many fascinating presentations. More soon.

O'Reilly is now offering 714 of its titles with an option to purchase individual chapters: PDFs for $3.99 a pop.

Seems an occasion to revisit this post: "Dismantling the Book."

(Thanks, Peter Brantley, for the link.)
