I’ve been wanting to get a bookcamp or ebook publishing bar camp here in Berkeley — how did you do that?
Hi! I know Ami was inspired by efforts in Canada and the UK. She and a couple other people spearheaded it for NY, but found partners. Check out the Book2Camp website: http://www.book2camp.org/
and maybe reach out to Ami if you have questions.
Thank you and more. e-books have recently become more popular than paper. They have their advantages. The most important of which is saving time and money, which is important.
