Sanders Kleinfeld says: I’m currently most excited about Revolution #3, which just started to take hold in early 2012, when folks deeply invested in the implications of Revolutions #1 and #2 started asking, “How do you create these postmodern EBook-s that contain more than just text and pictures, which people will read on eInk ereaders, tablets, and smartphones?”... Revolution #3 isn’t really defined by a new piece of hardware, software product, or platform. Instead, it’s really marked by a dramatic paradigm change among authors and publishers, who are shifting their toolsets away from legacy word processing (Word Processor) and Desktop Publishing suites, and toward HTML-5 and tools built on the OpenWeb Platform...

TED is branching into the Thin Book/EBook market. A TEDBook will be longer than a long magazine article but shorter than a typical book, clocking in at 10,000 to 20,000 words, “in a way that matches modern attention spans,” the publisher said. Each book will be sold for $2.99 only on Amazon.com (Kindle Single)... Chris Anderson said that Amazon takes a 30 percent cut of revenue and the rest is split evenly between TED and the author.

TEDx are independent TED-like events, which can be organized by anyone who obtains a free license from TED, agreeing to follow certain principles.[66] TEDx events are non-profit but may use an admission fee or commercial sponsorship to cover costs.[67] Similarly, speakers are not paid. They must also relinquish the copyrights to their materials, which TED may edit and distribute under a Creative Commons license. A TEDx event is organized by volunteers from the local community, and just like TED events, it lacks any commercial, religious or political agenda. Its goal is to spark conversation, connection and community. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TED_(conference)#TEDx (more)
