Dr. Rick Kopak stuck around for a second episode to discuss the power of highlighting in digital text, urban fantasy, cyberpunk and the staying power of iconic books. Rick is an educator & researcher at the iSchool at the University of British of Columbia. e-readers like the Kindle offer some good tools to highlight and make notes about the information we’re consuming. However, copyright and other legal issues may be limiting usability. Copyright is a funny thing. Rick tells us about the Open Journal Project. Paul reminds us that Amazon and Netflix used to be the alternate business models and now they are the established norm. There are loads of reading recommendations in this show: Cory Doctorow often offers his books for free at Craphound. William Gibson’s cyberpunk novel Neuromancer. Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash, Anathem, Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle). Charles Stross (The Atrocity Archives, Saturn’s Children). Asimov Heinlein Larry Corriea, Monster Hunters International. William Dufris is a voice actor who has narrated several audio books from the authors above. Scribd now offers a subscription service to audio books & ebooks. It’s like the Netflix for books. $8.99 for as many books as you can read in a month. The 007 Reloaded audio books are a series of James Bond audio books read by famous British actors like Hugh Bonneville & David Tennant. Hachette vs. Amazon. Rick recommends Roam Mobility an inexpensive way to use your mobile phone when traveling. Thanks again to Rick for making the time to join us!
