Words of Wisdom from the World E-Reading Congress 2012 (good review of my talk and preso) Roger Tagholm at Publishing Perspectives just published a nice review of the World eReading Congress in London, on Tuesday, where I had the pleasure of doing the opening keynote. The 6MB low-res PDF can be downloaded via this link: Download Ereading congress london gerd Leonhard (note: this is quick version, better resolution soon on Slideshare). Here are the best snippets from Roger's review (and the rest of it is a good overview, as well!)

Your thoughts ?
