Editorial Director @AmberBooks, although all opinions my own etc, mostly on publishing. Not a pipesmoker.

If you’ve not tried an eReader recently, it might be worth another go. I love my Kobo Sage (which admittedly is the pricey end of the market) but there is a lot more choice available now for digital readers (phones & tablets too, of course) #ebook https://t.co/5nEklTd4d7

‘It suddenly’ doh

I am excited about a new ebook reader. (If you like illustrated books, so should you.) https://t.co/yu0pDpxU6E #colour #ebook #kobo

[Charles Catton @crgc]

The colour won’t be anywhere as good as print or even a tablet, but it suddenly maps will be readable, colour coding is possible (on your own notes too) and much more.

From @thebookseller - “Bloomsbury expects revenue and profit to exceed expectations with growth driven by fantasy” [much like all other publishers, then… here all week, try the fish etc] #publishing

Beautiful sunset in London today.

@michaelbhaskar @HeraBooks So sad to hear this news.

[Charles Catton @crgc]

@michaelbhaskar @canelo_co Nine years! Where did the time go?

@pressfuturist Time to wheel out the Austro-Hungarian Empire…

Hey @MicrosoftHelps - the ability to email to groups on Outlook for Mac was supposed to be coming soon ages ago - my previous message seems to have disappeared but a dev said it was imminent. Any news? Pretty basic requirement for an email app, I’d say, yet it’s been MIA for ages

I found this a very depressing read for a number of reasons (and the article conflates fiction marketing with all book publishing). If you trust influencers, caveat emptor #publishing -> The Merch-ification of Book Publishing

@Louiestowell I was there, too. Always amazing hearing thousands of people all singing along to that song.

@DatabaseSponge But today is not that day.

@pawan_kapoor @Outlook Thanks for your response, Pawan, I appreciate it.

[Charles Catton @crgc]

@Outlook when are you going to enable Contact lists on new Mac Outlook? It has been months and having the grayed-out option is just trolling Mac users #outlook #mac

[Charles Catton @crgc]

@Outlook Thanks for the reply - I have commented. It’s been ‘not currently available’ for over a year - ‘currently’ implies an imminence which seems unjustified in this case.

@iucounu The cast were the biggest problem for me, followed by the script. Premise was interesting though.
