A daily roundup of book and publishing news from across the Web: Google Books Upgraded; Foer to U.K. Indie; Audiobook App Tops iPhone App Store; Pogue’s Productivity Tips.
Google Books Upgraded
A rundown of the recently released new features in Google Book Search.
Foer to Indie Press in U.K.
Two books by Jonathan Safron Foer were just sold to indie press Visual Editions in the U.K. The press publishes books that utilize visual or graphical elements in the text—are these comics?
Audiobook App Tops iPhone App Store Books Category
Yestreday, an Audiobooks app (called Audiobooks) bumped Amazon’s Kindle app from the top spot in the free book apps category in the iPhone app store.
Pogue’s Productivity Tips
Not technically about publishing, but since, increasingly, the publishing workforce works from home, these tips from the New York Times tech columnist might be helpful.
