Harlequin titles are up and running! We now have over 100 Harlequin titles up on DailyLit, and there are 20 brand new Harlequin titles every month. Imagine how decadent it would be to read a Harlequin book on your Blackberry or iPhone during your commute or while you’re waiting to pick up the kids. And what a fun, last minute Valentine’s Day gift these books could make: Tycoon’s Valentine Vendetta; His for the Taking; or Expecting his Love Child could end up in your friend’s inbox at the click of a button. Check them out. I think I’ll send my husband one of the Hide this Italian Book for Lovers from Berlitz which teaches romantic phrases in Italian. There’s also one for French and Spanish. You can find them here. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I’m excited to speak at the O’Reilly Tools of Change conference this week on “Dickens Meets the Blackberry: Serialization in the Digital Age.” I’ve had a lot of fun researching and preparing for the talk. At the time of Dickens books cost around 2 weeks of wages for the average worker. Serialization, i.e. offering books in short installments mostly in magazines and newspapers, for the first time made it possible for books to be read by a broad audience. Although the price of books has gone way down these days, it’s now the cost of our time that’s gone way up. It’s getting ever harder to find the time to sit and enjoy a book – and the idea of starting a big book has become daunting. Here at DailyLit, we offer digital serialization to fit reading into our crazy lives. A great case of Back to the Future!
