Kno - total ebook solution

Kno provides platforms for e-book distributing and authoring. Although Korean government is doing the same thing, it seems to be way behind American corporates. Lots of Korean people aren't aware that the rule of game is changing. However, I feel that the new system is half fledged. It's not late. It's about time we caught up with advanced ones. 

3M - Post it? No. It's E-books

Most of you think it's about 'Post it' when you hear '3M'. However, this time it's different. Although 3M has focused on its analogue business, it adapts and sticks to digital world. Now, you will experience posting your memo onto ebooks. Why do you think 3M directed their eyes to digital books instead of its traditional business? Yes, it's Brave the New Digital World. In a few more years people won't need 'Post it' anymore. They have digital alternatives. 3M learned the lessons from Kodak case and they don't want to follow the suit. Clever. 3M will get people to use their digital 'Post it' while they read e-books. If you still don't get the message, you need to examine the difference between 'Post it' and its digital counterpart.

Course Smart : E-book or E-Textbook Rental Service

   If you think print books are better than e-books, you are in the same boat with me. However, unfortunately print books are losing their ground business-wise. Money is flowing into e-book business. If you have paper books, don't throw them away. They will become expensive in the near future. People will miss paper books and their fragrance. They share your soul and thinking as soon as you grab them and read them. However, e-books will replace them and communicate with you in the different ways. People feel happy when they are connected with other people. E-books will play the role. 

  The following web service shows how digital textbooks can be used. However, it doesn't offer its rental service to Korea. Nevertheless, you can take glimpse of what would happen in the textbook markets in Korea in the near future.

Course Smart

Publish on Kindle

Kindle will launch its service in Korea soon. If you have book contents, you can publish them through Kindle Direct Publishing. Korean market of ebooks is tiny but I believe current market share of ebooks in Korea will change and grow.
