LibraryThing is pleased to catch up with <a href="https://www.michaeltamblyn.com/">Michael Tamblyn</a>, the CEO of <a href="https://www.kobo.com/">Rakuten Kobo</a>, a Canadian ebook, audiobook and ereader company doing business in 150 countries. Tamblyn serves on the board of <a href="https://www.overdrive.com/">OverDrive</a>, an ebook distributor working with both the non-profit and retail sectors; is involved with <a href="https://agewell-nce.ca/">AGE-Well</a>, a Canadian organization dedicated to developing technology and services for healthy aging; and is the founder of <a href="https://www.booknetcanada.ca/">BookNet Canada</a>, a “non-profit organization that develops technology, standards, and education to serve the Canadian book industry.”</p> <p><strong>What drew you to the book business and book technology?</strong></p> <p>I always loved bookstores. The small town where I grew up had a pretty standard books+cards+stationary store, but I thought it was fantastic and I began bugging the owner for a job at 11 or 12. He was a bookseller of the old school, wore three piece suits to work retail, and had absolutely no need of an urchin to work in his store. Fast forward 8 or 9 years, I’m working my way through a university degree in music, cooking at a restaurant that was attached to the iconic Canadian indy store, The Bookshelf. The store manager stuck his head in the door of the kitchen and said there was an opening in the bookstore and if anyone was interested, now was the time to speak up. I had just had a very timely conversation with one of my music instructors that went something like “If you get burned or cut working in a kitchen, you’re out of the program. You don’t get 2 months off to rehab an injury; you’re just out.” That got me into the store. Fast forward another couple of years, I have graduated with my music degree, so of course I’m still working in the bookstore. But I didn’t love stocking shelves, and we were just reading about this startup in Seattle that had just left the garage and was selling books online. I thought “We could definitely do this,” and the store owner agreed, so we gathered a little group together and started the first online bookstore in Canada, <a href="https://bookshelf.ca/home">bookshelf.ca</a>, next door to the store in the storage space of a gift basket company next door. It was 1995-ish. Since then, most of the jobs I’ve had have been where books, business and technology crash into each other.</p> <p><strong>You were part of the team that founded Kobo in 2009. What was your vision for Kobo, and what sets the company apart?</strong></p> <p>I was CEO of <a href="https://www.booknetcanada.ca/">BookNet Canada</a> when ebooks first started to gather momentum. We launched one of the first conferences on digitization, TechForum, and that was where Mike Serbinis gave one of the first presentations of this app that they had created, called Shortcovers. Indigo was backing it, and it was one of the purest examples I have ever seen of a retailer tackling the innovator’s dilemma head-on. They built something that threatened their core business and put their smartest people on it to make it work. Maybe a month after, they asked if I wanted to join to head up the sales and content sides of the business – ecommerce, publishers, authors, and anything else that needed a home. I had been running BookNet for six years, together with an incredible group of people, and it was one of those “don’t look, just leap” moments. I joined a company in a basement that was selling maybe 25 books a day.</p> <p>But the vision was crystal clear: this is the start of a transformation in reading. No one, deep down in their hearts, believes that we are still going to be chopping down trees and  pressing ink into them 50 years from now to do our reading. So a change is coming. The only questions are “how quickly” and “who will make it happen?” What I had learned from bookshelf.ca and Indigo is that you can compete successfully against really big companies. Canada isn’t like the US – Amazon hasn’t washed away all domestic competition, online or in-store. If you are focused, have some serious up-front investment, and pick your battles carefully, you can dance between the elephants’ feet. So while Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble and Google were all fighting each other for control of the U.S. market, we started building out businesses in every single other country that looked like it needed an ebook solution. We partnered with retailers like Indigo who saw ebooks coming, wanted a solution that would let them maintain connection with their customers, and were looking for someone who could help them compete. And it worked. Now if you look around the world, Amazon really only dominates a couple of markets for ebooks — the US and the UK. Everywhere else, it’s a real fight – France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, on and on. And in most of those markets, there is a bookseller partnered with Kobo who is keeping their marketshare, going toe-to-toe with the biggest tech companies in the world. It’s pretty fantastic.</p> <p><strong>For some time now it has been in the public mind that there is a competitive, perhaps even antagonistic relationship between digital and print media. Do you share this view? What do you think the future of book publishing will look like, when it comes to print vs. ebooks?</strong></p> <p>There will always be print books. There are some books that are just beautiful objects. I would say this is a tempest-in-a-teapot issue made up of 1/3 economics, 1/3 aesthetics and 1/3 McLuhan.  Publishers make good margin on ebooks, and the physical supply chain has costs that publishers would probably love to say goodbye to. But the print book retail market is much more diverse – chains, Indies, grocery, discount stores – than the ecommerce or ebook business. If I had to guess, I think publishers look at the print world as a hedge, a barrier that keeps a few players from being completely dominant. So they are very careful to support it, maintain it, keep it healthy. That gets wrapped in “I could never let go of paper books! I love the smell of them and the feel of pages against my face…”. That’s an aesthetic stance more than a practical one, one that gets harder to sustain when you hit your 40s, need reading glasses and then find out that it’s really really nice to be able to make the font on a book bigger! There is a never-ending tension in the book business between higher-prices/smaller-audiences (hardcovers, trade paper) and books for the masses (paperbacks, libraries, ebooks, library ebook access). eBooks are just the latest manifestation of books as a mass medium: “How do we get this book to as many people as possible as cheaply as possible?” with all of the usual forces lined up against that impulse.</p> <p><strong>In a recent article for <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2021/04/15/hidden-discrimination-in-tech-why-seniors-might-be-key-to-your-success/?sh=7b5ab56429a4">Forbes</a>, you wrote about the hidden age discrimination in the tech world, that a disinterest in the needs of older consumers is a costly strategic error. What are the long-term benefits of designing with older users in mind?</strong></p> <p>You can approach it two ways: one is as an issue of accessibility. Anything you do that makes life easier for a sight-impaired person, for a person who has issues with manual dexterity, for a person who can’t lift something that is too heavy, it makes the experience better for everyone. The other is from a market perspective: older adults are the fastest growing demographic in the U.S., in Canada, in the EU. These are countries in the middle of a massive demographic shift. And they, on average, love reading, love books, have disposable income, and have time both to read books and buy them. Being in the book business and not designing for older adults is like being in the boat business but not caring much about motors, sails or oars.</p> <p><strong>Tell us about your personal library. What’s on your shelves, and what’s on your ereader?</strong></p> <p>In paper: cookbooks, art books, books that are just made beautifully that make you happy just by picking them up. In digital: everything else. All the fiction, non-illustrated non-fiction, fan fiction, the stuff that you read a review about and go “Oh that sounds cool – I should read that!” Really, everything where the content is more important than the object. I also move around a lot, so having most of my library with me all the time is a massive benefit.</p> <p><strong>What have you been reading recently, and what would you recommend to others?</strong></p> <p>I started missing travel about a year ago, so I was tearing through books that took me to places I knew. The Ben Aaronovitch <a href="https://www.librarything.com/nseries/697/Rivers-of-London">Rivers of London</a> paranormal series took me back to places I knew right down to the brass on the doorknobs. <a href="https://www.librarything.com/work/19611278">Meet Me In the Bathroom</a> about the NYC music scene of 2000-2010. Layered through that was reading that was coming out of Kobo’s Diversity & Inclusion work: <a href="https://www.librarything.com/author/fonereric">Eric Foner’s</a> incredible books on Reconstruction, P. Djèlí Clark’s <a href="https://www.librarything.com/work/24213124">Ring Shout</a>, <a href="https://www.librarything.com/work/21725610">21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act</a> by Bob Joseph (for the Canadians reading this). And then books I have been reading for our podcast Kobo In Conversation: Katie Mack’s <a href="https://www.librarything.com/work/24122920">The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)</a>, Malcolm Gladwell’s <a href="https://www.librarything.com/work/26028528">The Bomber Mafia</a>.

Ebooks are redefining ownership toward access rights. New models are emerging, like advertisements in books. Jane concludes:</p> <blockquote><p>“I’m sure that there are other possibilities but with the amelioration of ownership and comparable media prices, digital books will come down from their current position and this, in turn, will create new business models and new pricing models. Could publishers resist the downward pressure of ebook pricing by coming up with a business model which would result in increased sense of ownership and thus value to the consumer? Is cloud access that model? What other ways could publishers and authors increase the value of ebooks to consumers?”</p></blockquote> <p>I suspect the answer is <i>nothing</i>. The loss of ownership creates a downward spiral in value, and erodes the very notion of paying for books at all.</p> <p><b>Defining ownership down.</b> We used to own our books. With most ebooks we own them in name, but effectively we lease them. As Jane documents, the slide toward more and more attenuated concepts of ownership continues.</p> <p>The process is gradual. Mental models change slower than technology. If the Kindle had debuted with an access-based “faucet” model, it would have failed. Consumers would not have traded true ownership for a tethered, metered and monitored product. But we’ll get there soon enough, as each step away from ownership makes the next step more acceptable. Once you realize your Kindle book is not fully yours, you’ll accept it being mostly not yours. Google Ebooks are a further step away from ownership. Eventually you get to a faucet model, as music has done, either low-price (Netflix) or free (Pandora, YouTube).</p> <p>By itself, such changes might be culturally and economically neutral. Ownership of paper books wasn’t so much a consumer preference as a side effect of their physical nature, and law followed and solemnized that state of affairs. Maybe the faucet model will produce more readers, more reading, more good books, more paid authors, etc. Or maybe it will produce less. Who knows?</p> <p><b>The role of piracy.</b> I think we know. And the trends are negative, for both readers and authors.</p> <p>Unfortunately, digitization and the faucet model tends to encourage a third option–piracy. Digitization makes it possible, but the faucet model encourages it. This happens in two ways.</p> <p>First, people who love autonomy and personal freedom rebel against metered and monitored access to reading. They don’t want inconvenient DRM, monstrous and opaque licenses, transfer limitations, constant access requirements or icky, opaque monitoring. These people will turn to piracy to avoid it. (Or at least that’s what they’ll say they’re doing.)</p> <p>Second, the more ownership is devalued, the less people care about the rights of the seller. When someone sells you something they made, or through a small number of simple intermediaries, it’s easy to see what’s wrong about cheating them. When authors’ work is reduced to a limitless soup, available through shiny digital spigots at cheap, but limited, rates, it’s hard to see where problem with piracy really lies, and easier to rationalize cheating authors.</p> <p>As devalued ownership feeds piracy, rising piracy in turn devalues ownership. Anyone with an internet connection can rapidly assemble a “library” of books it would have once taken years to build–so why bother building one?</p> <p>As the logic churns, content sellers will increasingly seek other ways of “monetizing.” Authors will charge for readings, or merchandise. They’ll try advertisements. They’ll start leveraging all the user data they’re collecting to create even better ads. None of this will replace more than a fraction of the book economy, but they will definitely send a message to consumers: You’re being screwed enough to pay for the privilege.</p> <div style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; font-family: Verdana; width: 300px; font-size: 10px;"><a href="https://blog.librarything.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/yowchy.gif"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://prodthingology.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/yowchy-300x154.gif" alt="" title="yowchy" width="300" height="154" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-808" /></a><br /><center>from <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/02/news/companies/napster_music_industry/">“Music’s lost decade</a> by David Goldman, CNN Money</center></div> <p><b>Look elsewhere.</b> Does impaired, devalued digital access encourage piracy? Many ebook pundits dismiss ebook piracy. “New models” will emerge. Piracy is better than obscurity. People will pay once everything is available for a “fair” price. The arguments are familiar, and have an air of ritual now. <a href="http://www.toccon.com/toc2011">Hip conferences</a> urge publishers to do a swan dive into an empty swimming pool.</p> <p>Don’t need to take my word for it. Just look at all the other industries that have gone digital. Take music. Physical music sales have been declining steadily for more than a decade, and while digital sales rise, they make up only a fraction of the loss. (They’re not even <a href="http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1042669">rising much anymore</a> either.) Revenue from Pandora, Spotify, YouTube ads and the like are loose change next to CD sales declines.</p> <p>What’s the shortfall? All told, the United States recorded music industry is <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/02/news/companies/napster_music_industry/">worth <i>less than half</i> of what it was a decade ago</a>, and the downward slope is only getting steeper. Outside of the big markets, the declines are greater. The Spanish music industry <a href="http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?storyCode=1043955&sectioncode=1">fell 55% in the last five years</a> alone. In China rampant CD copying and file sharing have left a nation of 1.3 billion people with a $75 million recorded-music industry. As a recent <a href="http://www.economist.com/node/17627557">Economist</a> report put it, the “worst-case scenario has already come to pass.”</p> <p>Music has it easy compared to writing. Musicians have always relied on other revenue sources. Performance is the big one, but merchandise and licensing matter too. Authors don’t have the same options. Dickens engineered a profitable reading tour of the United States, as new-model enthusiasts always point out. But how many authors could do that today? How many could fund themselves on t-shirt sales. And will anyone pay authors to read sentences from their novels over an Audi advertisement? The ringtone market holds limited prospects.</p> <p><b>The unashamed future.</b> As William Gibson said, “The future is already here; it’s just not very evenly distributed.” I saw that future at a recent technology conference, hosted by NYU. Of course, the participants were all well down the digital road. All read digital books, and many had given up paper entirely. (In certain circles announcing that you haven’t read a physical book in X months is a boast, and people compete to have the highest number.)</p> <p>But one individual stood out. In a mixed crowd of peers and professors this brave futurist shared her decision to stop buying book altogether. She loved books. She read a lot. But she could find everything she wanted to read on BitTorrent. Nobody objected. It may have been my imagination, but I thought I saw a mystical crown settle squarely on her head. She was the coolest person in the room. She was the future.</p> <p>Publishers and authors, meet that future. And know that with every move away from ownership you are hastening its arrival.</p> </div> <div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> <p class="blogger-labels">Labels: <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/category/ebooks/" rel="category tag">ebooks</a></p> <div class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Tim @<a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2011/01/ebooks-the-downward-spiral-of-ownership-and-value/" title="Permanent Link to The downward spiral of ownership and value">5:02 am</a></em> <a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2011/01/ebooks-the-downward-spiral-of-ownership-and-value/#comments">50 Comments »</a> </div> <div class="shareit"> <li> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/home?status=The+downward+spiral+of+ownership+and+value+-+http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2011/01/ebooks-the-downward-spiral-of-ownership-and-value/" target="_blank" ><img src="http://twitter-badges.s3.amazonaws.com/t_mini-a.png" alt="Tweet about The downward spiral of ownership and value" /></a> </li> <li class="facebook-share"> <a name="fb_share" type="icon" share_url="http://www.librarything.comhttps://blog.librarything.com/2011/01/ebooks-the-downward-spiral-of-ownership-and-value/" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </li> </div> </div> <div class="post-11192 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-books category-bookstores category-ebooks category-libraries"> <h2 class="date-header">Tuesday, November 16th, 2010</h2> <h3 class="post-title"><a href="https://blog.librarything.com/2010/11/new-group-books-in-2025-the-future-of-the-book-world/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to New group: “Books in 2025—The Future of the Book World”">New group: “Books in 2025—The Future of the Book World”</a></h3> <div class="post-body"> <p><a href="https://blog.librarything.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ellibro.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://blog.librarything.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ellibro.jpg" alt="" title="ellibro" width="400" height="549" class="alignright size-full wp-image-711" style="margin: 0 0 10px 10px; float: right;"/></a>I’ve started a new discussion group <a href="http://www.librarything.com/groups/booksin2025thefuture">LibraryThing Group, Books in 2025</a>.</p> <p>The group aims to centralize and restart a site-wide conversation about the future of books and reading. It’s a conversation that’s been going on for years here and there on Talk, especially Book talk and the librarians group, in comments to my Thingology posts about ebooks and my Twitter stream. It needs it’s own group. It will also be refreshing to hear more from LibraryThing members–not technologists or industry people. After all, who better to discuss the future of books than the people who love them most?</p> <p>Anything about the future of books is welcome, but the focus will be on how ebooks and social reading are and will change things, with 15 years as a proposed timeframe:</p> <ul> <li>How will ebooks change reading? Has it changed your reading?</li> <li>How fast will ebooks rise, and how high will they go? Is the paper book dead?</li> <li>Where is social reading going? What’s core and what’s fad?</li> <li>Will sites like LibraryThing continue to exist, or will ereaders leverage their advantages to make book discussion a platform-dependent activity?</li> <li>Will libraries contract or prosper in an ebook world? What can they do to make sure things turn out right?</li> <li>How will ebooks change the world for publishers?</li> <li>Will writers see increased opportunities–or be decimated by piracy? How will ebooks change literature?</li> <li>Are physical bookstores doomed?</li> <li>What about the rest of the book world–small and informal libraries, agents, rare books, small presses, book reviewers, etc.?</li> <li>Amazon, B&N, Apple… How many will win, and how will they evolve? </ul> <p>Anyone can post, and start a topic. But we’re going to keep this a LibraryThing project. We’ll be starting some topics ourselves, and bringing in authors and other book people to discuss what they know, and where they think things are going.</p> <p>So, come check out the group “<a href="http://www.librarything.com/groups/booksin2025thefuture">Books in 2025</a>,” and participate in a first topic, “<a href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/102544">Welcome to this group / Books
