We&#8217;ll do our best to update you on networked publishing wherever we find it, but it might take just a little longer than normal for us to get to a computer.<br \/>\nUntil then, I thought it&#8217;d be fun to revisit some old posts. Around the table at work we often feel burdened by the tyranny of the timely post. It&#8217;s something that doesn&#8217;t leave much room for reflection. I&#8217;ve felt that we should find ways to pull up some of the posts that have in some way impacted us and our community the most, so I&#8217;ve started with a simple numerical solution: most popular posts (via comment counts) from last year. Here&#8217;s a selection:<br \/>\nFirst, a post that deals with what people commonly think of when they hear electronic book (if they aren&#8217;t regularly reading this blog, anyway): <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2006\/01\/first_sighting_of_sony_ebook_r.html\">first sighting of Sony ebook reader<\/a><br \/>\nAnd then two posts about what we are working towards when we talk about a networked book: <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2006\/05\/defining_the_networked_book_a.html\">defining the networked book: a few thoughts and a list<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2006\/12\/small_steps_toward_an_n-dimensional.html\">small steps toward an n-dimensional reading\/writing space<\/a>.<br \/>\nAnd three posts on issues we think pertain to the ecology that surrounds networked books:<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2005\/11\/the_evils_of_photoshop.html\">the evils of photoshop<\/a>, <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2006\/01\/who_owns_the_network.html\">who owns the network<\/a>, and  <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2007\/03\/aaup_on_open_access_business_a.html\">AAUP on open access \/ business as usual?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have noticed that the blog hasn&#8217;t been updated much in the last few days.
