Ampersand: The Poetry App
 
I don't know that there's much to discuss here, but I did think it was something that would interest our members, especially those who publish poetry books or literary magazines. As many of you know, the existing ebook readers like Kindle don't do poetry very well. This one seems like it will:

Roger,

I've heard rumors about this, but I was under the impression it was vaporware. Is there a release candidate? Do you have it?

Thanks,

Bill

I'm not sure I understand your question, Bill. Taking the site at face value, it's coming out in the summer. The app will be free, but you'll have to buy books and magazines. It will be easy for publishers to put their work up, although the financial details aren't clear. There's a video and a link to a FAQ here:
