Nook video expands to Android, iOs, and Roku. That’s something I didn’t see coming. Might be some new models to explore here.
Nook Simple price drops. So looks like Nook is going all out here.

Wattpad’s New Self-Publishing Crowdfunding Effort
OK it’s not the first, but Wattpad is releasing a crowdfunding function on their platform. They’ve come far since that interview so long ago . . .
Now this is intriguing period since in a way some people have leveraged recognition gained from social networking for promotion in a less integrated manner. This formalizes it. Watch this, because if it works it may validate the model elsewhere.
Why have a few general sources of crowdfunding when you can have specialized ones?
Of course this also builds things for Wattpad . . .

Check out “The Elevator”
Victoria Shockley, who we interviewed previously, has her new children’s novella, “The Elevator” coming out soon. You can find out more here: http://victoriashockleywrites.wordpress.com/. Here’s her blurb:
“Gorb the gnome operates an elevator in an upscale hotel. When three businessmen get stuck in his lift, their only chance of escape is to work together. But with a clashing of personalities, that proves difficult.
Gorb has a plan. Will his tale about the fantastic kingdom of Eggslandia be enough to inspire the group to collaborate and find a way out?
The Elevator and its story within a story share a lesson in the importance of teamwork.”
Sounds like something to check out. Give it a look!
