Digital Book World Conference 2011 Begins and the eBook Revolution Trundles on Regardless…

The Digital Book World Conference & Expo 2011 opened Monday and runs until January 26th.  The Los Angeles Times has a post on it.

I’ve looked around the DBW site but see no mention of Indie authors. I guess they will have no impact on the Digital Book World. Actually, it isn’t surprising that they’ve been overlooked when you consider all of (traditional) publishing’s BIG SIX publishers have sent small armies to attend.

The event’s Program reads like a who’s who of irrelevant business ideas. Just an example: “Fun Facts Now That We’re an Ebook Retailer & Wholesaler” (soon-to-be irrelevant middlemen), “Author Royalties for Ebooks: What the Agents and Publishers Say Is the State of Play” (irrelevant middlemen) and “A CEO’s View of the Future” (irrelevant overlords…).

It would be a gas to check this thing out, yah? I wonder if they failed to mention Indie Authors because it’s like mentioning ‘meteorites’ to dinosaurs…
