So, what exactly counts as “a book” these days? In the pre-digital era, the answer was self-evident: covers, binding, paper pages, and a weight you could feel in your hands. Today, however, readers—perhaps more accurately users—increasingly experience books on screens, not shelves. The content remains the same, actually better and richer, but the physical form has dissolved into a far more flexible, portable digital experience.
This shift has enormous implications. When there is no need to print, bind, store, or ship physical volumes, the cost structure for authors and publishers changes dramatically. High-quality content can be offered at a far lower price—or made available for free.
Because The Mediate.com Story is free and fully digital, several additional advantages follow:
The freedom to revise, extend and improve without incurring the costs and delays of traditional publishing, is rather attractive.
For now, I hope that you enjoy this open-access edition of The Mediate.com Story—a resource created to motivate and support your work, your thinking and our cherished mediation process.
