its "virtual" doors in November 2008, with two
million documents, and with a crash from the server within 24 hours,
followed by an experimental period giving access to a partial
collection. Europeana offered 6 million documents in March 2010, with a
revamped website launched then to offer 10 million documents.

April 2010 > The iPad from Apple

Apple launched the iPad, its digital multifunctional tablet, in April
2010 in the U.S. for US$499, with an iBookstore of 60,000 ebooks, and
many more to come from partnerships with publishers. The iPad was
available in a few European countries in June 2010. After the iPod and
the iPhone, two cult devices, Apple has also become a key player for
digital books.

April 2010 > A quote from Catherine Domain

Catherine Domain, founder of the Ulysses bookstore, the oldest travel
bookstore in the world, has become a publisher of travel books in April
2010. She wrote in an email: "The internet has taken more and more
space in my life! On April 1st I started being a publisher after some
painful training in Photoshop, InDesign and others. This is also great
to see that the political will to keep people in front of their
computers for them not to start a revolution can be defeated by giant
and spontaneous happy hours [in France, through Facebook] with
thousands of people who want to see - and speak with--each other in
person. There will always be unexpected developments to new inventions.
When I started using the internet [in 1999], I really didn't expect to
become a publisher."

July 2010 > End of the Booknology

My warmest thanks to Marc Autret for the term "Booknology" used in a
previous common project.
