Currently there is no OS X package for 0.7.3 available. Even though this release fixes numerous bugs on OS X a package cannot be built at this time. The macdeployqt tool I use for OS X packaging is broken in Qt 5.1.0. I was not able to get the workaround to resolve the issue fully. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the next Qt release. |

(Bold mine.)
Not sure how accurate his read of the market is or how things look on the ground but I suspect he isn't totally wrong. One thing he doesn't go into, that may factor in the disruption, is that German-language books, like English-language books, have strong markets *outside* Germany. While he is looking at Germany alone, I expect that German ebooks from the trad-pubbers and emerging indie publishers won't be restricted to the borders of Germany. Those cross-border sales should be an extra incentive for authors looking to go indie. Again, I don't know how much difference it'll make but the numbers he cites suggest ebooks in Germany may soon be breaking from hobbyist/enthusiast territory into the mainstream, and every little bit should help accelerate the transition. Does his analysis hold water? [image by Pen Waggener via Flickr] |

Perhaps it's just a random sale. Or perhaps, Sony's clearing inventories for the introduction of the much anticipated PRS-T3. |

If it's up to the DOJ, e-book app vendors should be allowed to link to their stores again for the next two years:
In addition, the DOJ is suggesting that Apple should end its existing agreements with the five publishers it's accused of conspiring with and refrain from entering new e-book distribution contracts for five years. [via TechCrunch] [related: Apple eBook price fixing case going to court] |
