Missed our live event on the future of publishing? We've got video of the discussion here, and we'd love to hear what you think.

In the span of just six months, e-books have gone from an interesting curiosity to what many think is the future, as well as the eventual cause of death for big publishing. No doubt, Apple’s iPad and a revamped Kindle lineup have accelerated the momentum of this large-scale shift towards digital publishing, as both the technology and publishing worlds watch consumers go from paper to digital at an eye-popping rate. At GigaOM and GigaOM Pro, we thought it would be interesting to bring these two worlds together to talk about the impact of e-books on the publishing industry. We invited some of the leading voices in e-books and publishing to GigaOM’s offices on Aug. 25 for the GigaOM Pro Bunker Session entitled, “Author to Audience: Disintermediation in Publishing.” Watch archive video and further discussion here.
