How can we possibly focus on something for more than a second with all of the technology that moves in front of our eyes We are suffering from short attention spans. Internet surfing has given us the ability to absorb information quickly. It is condensed and enhanced with graphics. We simply don't have to take our time any longer.
With this being mentioned, it isn't surprising that a publisher would tap into the eReader market by eventually offering condensed eBooks for Kindle and other digital readers. Usually these versions range from 1,000 to 5,000 words. For the older generations this can be compared to the life-saving Cliff Notes. Most remember frantic trips to the book store to pick up notes on Hamlet because of the paper due the next day. Saved, and you didn't even have to read through the dusty classic. No, more frantic trips, condensed eBook versions are on their way!
A division of Pearson, The FT Press currently offers business eBooks that are shortened for the mobile professional. You can find their releases under FT Press Delivers in the Kindle eBook store and Barnes & Noble eBook shop. They sell these titles under names of Elements and Shorts.
Barnes & Noble offers these at the publisher's prices, while Amazon offers the eBooks at discount prices. Elements contain the facts at around 1,000 to 2,000 words and Shorts are essays around 5,000 words. There are 240 titles for sale, but FT Press hopes to have 500 available by the end of year.
A great Element example is Don't Make Them Think! Creating the Best Flow for the Elements of Any Great Presentation by Jerry Weissman. It will only cost Kindle users $1.59. Containing 130 locations, it truly does the job with simple bullet points.
True, it is a steal for the business person who is writing a presentation; however, a bullet point novel may not be pleasing. Dramatic, its true, but the world is headed to this type of reading structure.
Ground-breaking and ever-changing, it's quite obvious that the eReader technology will to continue to fill our need for instant access to a great read. But, condensing a novel, may truly take the fun out of reading. With a fast-paced world, shouldn't one element be left alone No matter how we read, perhaps it should be left in its original state.
