Here are a few stories to read this morning.

  • JD Henning proposes using a stenographer’s typewriter as a solution to the RSI caused by the Qwerty keyboard .  Me, I avoid it by using 3 and a half fingers to type.
  • Jonathan Bailey compares how well AI chatbots cite their sources.
  • Judging by this editorial, it looks like The Guardian has revived its editorial policy from 10 years ago of shitting on ebooks.
  • Here’s a guide to bookstores owned by authors. I’ve actually been in Parnassus Books in Nashville, but had no clue it was owned by Ann Patchaett. (I prefer Rhino Books across town.)
  • Nathan Bransford explains how to find comp titles.
  • Fintan O’Toole delves into the subtext of Gulliver’s Travels on the 300th anniversary of its publication.  (paywalled, sorry)

Hi, I'm Nate.
