can’t bring myself to buy the #kin­dle ver­sion of a “224 page” book because it costs $17. what’s your per­sonal price point for ebooks? [shifted]

The last chap­ter of the Net­worked Non­profit is on net­worked gov­er­nance. We thought this would be an easy part of the book to write – all we’d have to do is find exam­ples of how boards online, open­ing up deci­sion­mak­ing to out­side influ­ences. There were no exam­ples – so the last chap­ter of the book is spec­u­la­tive, based on the best think­ing of the peo­ple who have looked at net­worked gov­er­nance. I dreamed up some sce­nar­ios of boards and social media in practice.

@wawoodworth no hard­cover; paper­back ver­sion is $23. just seems wrong to me, even though I want to read it. [shifted]

@bmljenny @wawoodworth @HiddenPeanuts I buy like @griffey does. if price had been =<$12 I’da bought it but 75% cost of print seems wrong [shifted]

@wawoodworth I’m not sure it’s only wrong b/c of Amazon’s pric­ing. 75% cost of print for 224 pages? [shifted]
twitter (feed #3)
me, too RT @griffey: @shifted I find myself impulse buy­ing at <$10, think­ing about it at around $12, and more than $15 they can for­get it. [shifted]

@gershbec I feel bad b/c I’d like to sup­port this author & it’s a trade book I could use but it will likely be lost rev­enue for the author [shifted]

@arekdreyer agreed — I’d be will­ing to pay more if it meant more con­tent or fea­tures but it looks like a straight con­ver­sion from print [shifted]

@bmljenny yes, I can’t check the ebook ver­sion out from my library & I don’t want to read the print copy, so no $ for author/publisher [shifted]

@arekdreyer maybe but index­ing is less impor­tant in an ebook & there are no add’l fea­tures. what do you think the “more” is here? (hon­est ?) [shifted]
twitter (feed #3)
@arekdreyer respect­fully dis­agree. don’t want 2 pay same $ when it costs u noth­ing 2 print & send to me. ur costs r lower-mine should be too [shifted]

* Any­where — Many­moon can be used with peo­ple inside and out­side of your orga­ni­za­tion. And since it’s online all you’ll need is an inter­net con­nec­tion to get working!

I hear peo­ple rave about Instapa­per all the time, but I rarely see them expound on their affec­tion in any detail. This post is pretty much the most thor­ough thought dump of how Instapa­per works for me in 5 categories:

1. Uses for Instapa­per fold­ers
2. Instapa­per search
3. Get­ting infor­ma­tion into Instapa­per
4. Mis­cel­la­neous Instapa­per extras online
5. iOS Instapa­per app options and tips

Pub­lished Help us redesign!.

This fall, we’ll be redesign­ing the Con­nect home page (the “dash­board”) and the groups home page (what you see when you go to a group). I cer­tainly have some ideas about what needs to change, but we really want to hear from you.
We need at least a half-dozen vol­un­teers who are will­ing to work with the com­pany doing the redesign to give input and answer ques­tions via phone and email. If you’re inter­ested in help­ing us make Con­nect even bet­ter, please leave a com­ment or con­tact me at jlevine [at] ala.org.
