Google Exec to Keynote Publishing Business Virtual Conference

Mark Nelson , Strategic Partner Manager at Google, will be interviewed live during Publishing Business VIRTUAL Conference & Expo Sept. 16 at 10:15 a.m.-11:15 a.m. ET

The interview will focus on “Google Editions,” Google’s forthcoming service that will allow users to buy digital copies of books discovered through Google’s book search, and enable book retailers to sell Google Editions through their own sites and share in the revenue from e-book sales.

Google Editions is different from other online e-bookstores because it is a “cloud-based” platform, which provides consumers who purchase books with an “electronic bookshelf,” which can be browsed anytime, anywhere, from a variety of electronic devices, via the Internet.

Nelson is scheduled to discuss Google’s future in the book business, and his predictions may provide clues about the future of digital book rights and royalties.
