The Time Capsule

By Amber Scott

About a year before the Kindle released as an e-reader, before the Sony e-reader was very known or popular, I was traditionally published with three e-publishers. Back then, this was a popular way for authors to earn their way into the big NY publishers. Authors like Cheyenne McCray carved this path and I was following suit.

I used to tell my hubby how, if someone made an e-reader that could be personalized like a book and was tactile like a book, the industry would boom with them. He nodded and smiled and today wishes he’d bought stock.

Now, I clearly wasn’t the only person who saw this possible. Amazon and Barnes and Noble and Apple were way ahead of me. But ever since then, when I get my little ideas and predictions, we call it putting it in the time capsule. Let’s see if we’re right.

Here’s a few ideas that are in there now:

• Ebook cafe bookstores. I envision bookstores evolving to have espresso print on demand machines and ebook kiosks, e-readers and fab covers for them, open mic nights and a more lounge like atmosphere. In my mind, one is called “The Nut House.” It’s by a college campus.
• E-readers that have a sign function. I can sign ebooks now, but only with my iPad and then it takes conversion. It only takes me about five minutes total now, but it will be way cool to sign in person for that instant gratification readers crave and deserve.
• Animated covers, meaning the book cover itself will be like the framed photos in Harry Potter. Much like music, I think ebooks will become the dominant format. Having covers that move on your e-reader would be so awesome. Imagine the hero, at first looking down then slowly his eyes drawing up and looking straight at you. *gasp*
• Paperbacks and hardbacks will become like CD’s, still preferred by a portion of the population but filled with specific extras because more than likely that audience includes the hard core fans.

Now, I have no idea if I’ll be right. It is an exciting future to daydream about, though. I can’t help myself. Seeing how much digital is changing the landscape is exciting. Readers are reading more often. Authors have more opportunities to earn an audience. Even book reviewer bloggers are beginning to get the recognition they deserve. The playing field is leveling and being in the midst of it is SO exciting.

Speaking of reading, I hope you’ll grab your 99 cent copy of Fierce Dawn today as part of the Bestseller For a Day promotion-one day, one low price, and one goal: to get into the top 100 in Amazon Kindle rankings. We’re making history together and while I don’t have much of a guess for the time capsule on what the long term effects will be, it sure is exciting to daydream about.
