Click Click - Marian Quinn - True StoriesCategory: Books Description: Click Click tells the story of three sisters born in a family of ten in Ballyfermot Dublin in the 1960s. Abused by their father from a very young age, the sisters took a successful case against their father in 1990, in a time where sexual abuse cases were still a silent shadow in this country - covered up and swept under the carpet. Click Click is the story of their abuse; the exposure and imprisonment of a man prolific in his paedophilia; and three childhoods lost in a dysfunctional, abusive and torturous environment. It is however, also the story of three women's healing - their coming to terms with their abuse, their forgiveness of themselves and others, and their determination not to let the abuse define them. Through talk, openness and understanding the sisters have triumphed over their past and have begun to heal. With humour, insight, and honest, they share the growth of this incredible connection and the conviction that with love and determination, you can indeed conquer all.

One Click - Richard L. Brandt - Management and Business: GeneralCategory: Books Description: Amazon's business model is deceptively simple: make online shopping so easy that customers won't think twice. It can be summed up by that button on every page: 'Buy now with one click'. Why has Amazon been so successful? Much of it hinges on Jeff Bezos, the CEO and founder, whose unique character and ruthless business sense have driven Amazon relentlessly forward. Through interviews with Amazon employees and competitors, One Click charts Bezos' rise from computer nerd to world-changing entrepreneur. It reveals how he makes decisions and where he will take Amazon next. Amazon is a case study in how to reinvent an entire industry. It is one that anyone in business ignores at their peril.

Fantastic!!, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Click Clack Crocodile's Back (Paperback)
What a great story! My four children ( 4, 3, 2 and 9 months) and I enjoyed it so much that we bought a copy for all their cousins too. Really funny with no annoying moral message. I won't spoil it but it has a cracking ending, so it's one I don't mind reading over and over again.

Another great crocodile picture book from Kathryn. It is a humourous rhyming story that is wonderful to read aloud. Great for use at storytimes as the children can be encouraged to join in. The illustrations are brilliant too, just right for the text. All in all a must have in anyone's story collection. Thoroughly recommended.

| Popular authors increase output, some doubling to two books a year, to meet insatiable ebook demand |
|
Pity the poor authors in the days of the ebook. Whereas popular authors such as Lisa Scottoline used to produce one book a year, now they are writing two; while others such as Lee Child are churning out short stories in between novels in an attempt to satisfy their fans' demands for more output, lest the fans get bored waiting for the next work and go off and find a new favorite. Meanwhile, James Patterson is producing a dozen or more books each year, about half of which are co-written.
All this at the same time as the internet has changed readers' expectations that they'll be able to hear personally from their favorite authors via blogs, Twitter and Facebook updates. Would reclusive authors such as J.D. Salinger and Harper Lee be able to gain traction in today's market? Many publishers say no - that what once would have created an aura of intrigue around an author, is not a viable option in the age of interconnectivity. |

| Pushing back against 'Showrooming', Target will no longer stock Kindles |
|
Target plans to stop selling Amazon Kindle e-readers and tablets, and has already removed the products from its website.
"This is evidence that Target is getting more serious about Amazon as an enemy rather than a partner," said analyst Matt Nemer of Wells Fargo. "That's probably something Target now regrets. It put them behind in the world of multi-channel retail and let a serious competitor learn a lot about their business." The New York Times reported that as retailers like Target address the challenge of "showrooming," carrying Amazon's Kindle is, as Michael Norris of Simba Information put it, "like Starbucks selling Dunkin' Donuts gift certificates." Showrooming is the term used to describe a shopper who visits a store to check out a product but then purchases the product online from a different retailer - booksellers report that they often see customers buying online while still standing in their store holding the book they are purchasing elsewhere! |

| Tor publisher announces all ebooks will be DRM free by July - enabling books to be transferred between devices |
|
Tom Doherty Associates - comprising the Tor, Forge, Orb, Starscape, and Tor Teen imprints - has announced that their entire list of ebooks will be available DRM-free "by early July." In a separate, following notice, Tor UK said that it will do the same. Digital rights management (DRM) is the term used to describe any technology that limits the use of digital content on devices after sale.
President and publisher Tom Doherty writes: "Our authors and readers have been asking for this for a long time. They're a technically sophisticated bunch, and DRM is a constant annoyance to them. It prevents them from using legitimately-purchased e-books in perfectly legal ways, like moving them from one kind of e-reader to another." The company says that as part of the move, they "expect to begin selling titles through retailers that sell only DRM-free books." Forsaking DRM, and/or experimenting with "lighter" DRM schemes that allow more customer freedom, has been under discussion at a number of houses recently, intensified in the wake of the agency pricing lawsuits and settlements. Tor/Forge are the first "Big Six" imprints to make this move, though Pottermore's recent release of DRM-free Harry Potter ebooks (watermarked in some versions; still encrypted if purchased for the Kindle or Nook platforms) remains the most prominent. The Tor move raises the likelihood that other big publishers will head in the same direction, and also increases the chance that they may do so by division or imprint rather than companywide. |

| 'Three Cups of Tea' author, Greg Mortenson, and publisher seek dismissal of class action suit |
|
At a federal court hearing this week, author Greg Mortenson and his publisher sought dismissal of a lawsuit that "aims to obtain class-action relief for book-buyers allegedly defrauded by purported fabrications" in Three Cups of Tea and Stones into Schools.
According to the NY Times, the class-action case "is potentially crucial for book publishers, the defendants argue, because if it succeeds - which is by no means certain - it could mean that publishers would be liable to defend lawsuits and reimburse readers every time a memoir turned out to have an inflated recollection of events." Attorneys for Penguin Group, which published Three Cups of Tea in 2006, contended that "if a publisher were required to guarantee or ensure the truth and accuracy of everything an author says, the costs of publishing books would be prohibitive." |

| Apple wants to go to trial to defend itself against price-fixing allegations |
|
Apple wants to go to trial to defend itself against U.S. government allegations of colluding with publishers to fix e-book prices, Apple lawyer Daniel Floyd told U.S. District Judge Denise Cote yesterday. Reuters reported that publishers Macmillan and Penguin "took a similar stance in the first hearing in Manhattan federal court since the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice last week accused Apple and five publishers of colluding to break up Amazon.com's low-cost dominance of the digital book market."
