Amid the Recent Distruction in Kyiv, International Book Arsenal Festival Begins - Publishing Perspectives

After today's travels I really need a nap.

Panzer's last stop of the say was at the Publishing Perspectives site. There he found a post the International Book Arsenal Festival.

 

According to the post, even with all the destruction in Kyiv the Book Festival still went on. The post contains interviews with attendees.

 

Panzer says, "I'm a brave kitty boy, but it still looks scary to me."

 

Note: This is a very, very long post. You'll need to decide what to want to bring to snack on.

Authors Guild, Amazon, PRH File Suit Against E-book Pirate Site - Publishers Weekly

Today Panzer decided to make a stop at the Publishers Weekly site. With hardly any digging in the posts our traveling kitty boy discovered one about an effort by Amazon, the Authors Guild and publisher Penguin Random House (PRH) to close down the piracy ebook site KISS Library.

Stealing is stealing.

According to the Publishers Weekly Staff post, the Authors Guild, Amazon and Penguin Random House have filed a lawsuit against the ebook piracy site KISS Library. The KISS Library is located in Ukraine. The KISS Library uses other sites such as Kissly.net, Libly.net and others to sell illegal, pirated ebooks to buyers in the U.S. The post includes a link to the Authors Guild's announcement about the the lawsuit and also included is a link to the court filing.

Panzer says, "Don't they realize that by stealing my ebooks they're taking the food right out of my kitty dish?"

Note: This is a long-short length post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links included in the post, bring another cup of tea and a muffin.
