Pay attention: we are about to dip our toes into the water of the mighty Sincere. We think Random House is moving in the right direction with its investment in Vocel. Yes, you read it right. The publishing giant is making a bold, brilliant move. Now, all they need to do is contact us, and we can skillfully guide them to success.
RH has noted that many people today reach for their cell phones before they reach for their glasses in the morning (we do hope they did not pay a market research company to provide this information). They also, correctly, note that novel reading on a cell phone screen leaves a lot to be desired. And they note the medium has potential. As we sit here, wondering if it will ever stop raining again and drinking coffee (the breakfast of champions), ideas are forming faster than we can capture them…
