(As an aside, I was bemused that PW had a lead story on day two about the $100mm HMH fund for learning that I mentioned a month ago).
(And I do realize the images look like they were taken out a prison window).
Day One
The Bookseller Daily- Day 1
Tour de Force (Pg 21)
Events have helped the music industry cope with digitization. But, Anna Coatman asks, can author tours ever become a viable revenue stream for books?
Going Native (Pg 23)
The generation that has grown up with digital represents a challenge for academic publishers.
E(uro) Files (Pg 8)
Price maintainance, some EU laws and high VAT rates mean digital still hasn't caught fire in some European markets.
Publishing Perspectives:
Money For Nothing, And Your Pics For Free - Gwyn Headley on how Ebooks are finally embracing color images, but how much should you pay for them? (Pg 11)
Day Two:
The Bookseller Day 2
New Model Army (Pg 13)
Perhaps today's biggest publishing challenge is how to repurpose and monetise digital content.
Publishing Perspectives Day 2:
Hunting for E-books Around the Globe: American bookseller Barnes & Noble’s Patricia Arancibia is in search of the best the world has to offer. (Pg 15)
Day Three:

Up to 3mm searches per day for pirated eBooks. (Pg 4)
Publishing Perspectives Day 3:
Why Publishers Need Agile Content (Pg 10)
Clearing the Air about Copyright: Users need education, rights-holders need to get paid. (Pg 11)
The American Gentleman: At first publisher Roger Straus was reticent to come to Germany for a book fair, but once he did, the legendary publisher made friends, struck deals, and left a lasting legacy. (Pg 12)
Scheherazade in the App Store: Can Digital Free Arabic Publishers. (Pg 15)

a universal international framework for clearances is beginning. (Pg 16)
Moscow at Night: Is there such a thing as Russian noir and could it be the next big thing? (Pg 19)
All in all Publishing Perspectives seemed to have a more expansive and interesting selection of stories than either The Bookseller or Publisher's Weekly. (IMHO of course). Here are all PW's Frankfurt posts.
