The State of the Android in 2014
It's been an interesting year so far for the Android world. Just a month into 2014, organizational plans for Android have been set and the groundwork laid for the rest of the year. Google sold Motorola's smartphone division to Lenovo, and the reported sales of Android devices are projected to reach 1 billion users for the first time.
Digital publishing: How it will evolve in 2014 and beyond
The future of publishing is entering a new golden era that will make publishing available to more people. Twitter, new long-form content distributors and an increase in digital ad spending will support this new era.
Digital publishing is now a mature, thriving industry, and yet many still insist that publishing is in its death throes. Book publishers know better: While hardcover sales declined slightly between 2008 and 2012 (from $5.2 billion to $5 billion), eBook sales grew at an astonishing clip during that period, rising from $64 million to $3 billion. And while digital publications are typically sold at a lower per-unit cost, profit margins are much higher – from 41 percent to 75 percent as publishers make the transition from print to digital.
