The analogy may not be far, some observers of the book industry used to say. Editors, publishers of educational books, in particular, have long used, book sales of reprints churning out every two years. But the Internet, particularly sites like Amazon and eBay, millions of consumers an easy way to find cheap books - often for less than $ 1 - without license fees to pay publishers or authors.

Mass-Market publishers are not safe, used books interesting phenomenon is a problem of addressing, but also others in the industry have their heads.

“We believe it is not good for the industry, and it has an effect, but we can not measure,” said Paul Aiken, executive director of the Authors Guild, a trade group . “It has always been used book sales, but it is always background noise something. Now it is on the right side of the light of a new book on Amazon.

Lorraine Shanley, a senior partner at Market International, a consultant on publication, said the industry was just starting, for the dimensions of the problem.

“Good business for consumer policy are books such as Napster, it was the music industry,” she said. “The question is” How does the book industry address its used book problem? “There is no simple answer, especially since nobody is breaking any laws here.

Shanley, whose company reported on used books this month in their newsletters, publishing trends, said that publishers were beginning the consequences. “We asked publishers, like many a topic, and the answers are” I also many other problems to deal “or” Yes, this is a problem, but it is not easy solves I can ‘t really concentrate, “she said.

Greg Greeley, Amazon Vice President or media products for North America and Japan, strenuously disagreed with the idea that online sales of used books for the publication of the branch. And some publishers are not really for this e-Business used as a problem.

“It is often argued that there are two types of buyers,” said Chad Haight, publisher of Seattle-based Sasquatch Books. These are the bargain hunters, go to bookstores used by the search for a Deal, then he said, are those who, “Go into bookstores often looking for new books. It is d ‘ another category of customers. ” The discount to buyers, Haight said, it is expected by the end of shopping on Amazon.

“I think that they (in the case of Amazon), welcomed the availability of the publication industry,” said Haight.

Furthermore, he added that, unlike the music industry, publishing world has never planned books to a single user of the product. In fact, sharing a good book, that most, it seems almost like a moral obligation.

“We have always believed that if you sell someone a book, they are likely to redistribute it to someone,” said Haight, and added that this may help, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on an author, editor for an end higher turnover across the line.

Pat Soden, editor of the University of Washington Press, he said more concerned about critics see copies of books, which are not available for retail, are resold.

If the IBM-Board meets Tuesday, the key decision will face as deeply to cut this period. And the result would be to say much about how fast and powerful, as the company’s new chief executive, Louis V. Gerstner Jr., wants its mark on the troubled computer giant, he joined in April.

Most of Wall Street and industry analysts expect that the sources of board to take a cargo of large profits for the second quarter against the closure of factories and equipment balances, since the company streamline its activities. The fee for the cutting of production capacity - which could be enriched by $ 1 billion to over U.S. $ 4 billion, said one analyst - would, in addition to $ 2 billion of depreciation announced earlier this month as provided for greater reduction of staff. The operating loss expected

The International Business Machines Corporation is also expected to announce its second quarter results after the committee meeting. In addition to a special levy for the reductions, analysts predict that the report is an IBM operating loss in the area of $ 140 million to $ 180 million.

Most analysts believe that the board decides Tuesday on the slice of IBM dividend for the second time this year, given that the company cash to recover the fighting. The quarterly distribution is 54 cents and analysts predict that this is more than half, or 25 cents.

The computer industry are also noted, if the name of IBM or compensation for its two onboard. Three out of directors recently decided to bottom, and Tuesday of the meeting are also the last of Jack D. Kuehler, a vice-president of IBM, retired. A clean, bold stroke

If you are a second quarter enormous fees is that it works to the advantage of Mr. Gerstner - and IBM - for financial housecleaning necessary for a stroke and bold move with the reconstruction process. That must stop IBM, analysts say, is its recent history, the costs quarter after quarter, year after year, react to market changes, rather than control.

“Death by a thousand cuts is exactly what IBM has done for years,” said David Yoffie, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. “Gerstner has helped to reduce as much as possible, as quickly as possible, that behind him.

Mr. Gerstner, provides Dan Mandresh, an analyst for Merrill Lynch & Company, is in favour of a “clear the decks” approach.
