Five ebookish blogs

Blogs that cover ebook topics a lot (a.k.a. find out what's going on in the psychotic world of copyright law before Disney owns your brainwaves):

Teleread: Bring the E-Books Home
Possibly the oldest ebook-related site on the internet. "The TeleRead proposal for a well-stocked national digital library system goes back to the early 1990s."

A Newbie's Guide to Publishing
by author J.A. Konrath, Mr. "I've gone from paying my mortgage every month on Kindle ebooks, to paying almost all of my monthly bills."

One Writer's View of the World
author Maya Reynolds, who gives warning tips to authors: "If the agent demands an upfront fee, RUN. No matter what they call it--retainer, reading fee, advance--RUN."

Nate's Ebook News
..."covering ebooks, ebook readers, and digital publishing for the last year or so as a part of MobileRead Forums."

My Kindle Stuff
"I originally set out only to list all new books for the Kindle by week. ... Then I ended up adding Kindle items for sale, Book Reviews, Kindle News…you get the picture."


I skipped:
Dozens of blogs about "how to write & publish your own ebook!!!" (Skip those; visit Mobileread's forums instead.)
Finding free/cheap/non-DRM ebooks blogs (which I intend to post some other time)
Copyfight-only focused blogs
Corporate-sponsored blogs
Tech-focused blogs that post about ebook readers because they're popular right now
Archive blogs that are no longer active
