The conference happened and was a big success. It was fascinating to see so many people who are involved in Canadian culture gathered together thinking about the state of affairs. If only we could have had a social network mapping of the event so everyone could see how the nodes on the tree fit together... Want to keep working on that aspect of organization, the book trade social network map.

One of the things coming out of this conference is the purchase of an Iliad and Sony ereader. We are waiting on these devices so we can blog about usability and content etc. I will get to use it on my commute to Toronto and see if I can drop some weight from my backpack. I can't imagine I will have the same content that I currently have though. I use the library a lot and if I could get the library loan onto the reader that would be awesome. Automated checking in and checking out....

The blogging is going to happen over on the BookNet site so stay tuned.
