My Life as Open Source

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

五師兄的博得悉博益結業的消息,當然是十分震驚,在香港,有誰沒有看過博益出版的口袋書?

從八十年代的畢華流、吳昊、黃霑到九十年代大量引進外國小說,村上春樹、村上龍、John Grisham、Michael Crichton、Tom Clancy 等,擴闊了我的口味,如今博益的歷史任務完成了,接下來誰會摃起這重任?

    博益的黃金時代早過去了,或者香港的出版時代已過去了。

    So Steve was right again.

    When asked about Amazon’s Kindle book reader, Jobs proclaims, “It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore….”

    讀食:嗯,太可惜了。

    leung: Yes, Steve was right, 40% American read less than one book a year, HK is even worse, 42.4% people don’t read. See this survey.

    有人對我說只看說明書,接近一半香港人不看書,真令人婉惜。
    ps 謝謝妳的遊調樓資料!

    當只書展有廉價書大賣,當參觀人士集中購買某一兩種讀物,當人人上網和打機而不看書.出版業怎會有前景呢?

    這麼多人只會閱讀流行雜誌、漫畫、報紙、考試用書籍.
    出版商怎敢出版其他種類的書籍.書店租金非常昂貴,促使他們全部向錢看,怎會留意其他種類的書籍呢?
