slash
I have read the autobiography by guitarist Slash from Guns n Roses. An interesting book on metal music and industry in LA, but quite a slant on drug abuse.

Redesigning Books
Books are almost free, if you have time to find your favorites among used books at fleemarkets and overstock outlets etc. I have a bad habit to cut sides out of boosk. It could be information I find lesser interesting or offensive. It could be a foreworld, an useless dedication. also write down ideas in the marins of the books. So I redesign some books for my needs. I create a new product uBook as used Book. You could place your signature, dedicate the book, date it etc. etc. You customize it for a customer you never will meet. You could place and glue tree books in a pile. Then you get a heavy uBook you cant afford to send in the swedish mail. The wiever has to show up to collect it. The user could use the uBook as an art-object of desire like fashion.
The long tail
The long tail by Mr Chris Anderson, the editor-in-chief at Wired Magazine. Anderson has studied virtual stores like Amazon and Netflix active retailers on the Internet. His keyfinding the concept of the long tail is a focus of the tail in an ordered frequency diagram. The future is not the blocbuster monster hits when you are selling goods on the net, if it is virtual products in the form of bits it’s for sure. When the stock and distribution costs are very low you can focus to sell music, movies, applications and other media products that are not among the top 1000. The nisched products that sell in extremly small amount are on the other side enourmosly many. Apple iTunes could benefit and make profit on 1.000.000+ tunes.
