updates - a feature for the future of e-books

I predict that the future of books, specifically e-books, is updates. Just like app developers make updates to their apps, authors would send updates to e-books too. 

For example - page 10 of Reid Hoffman's book, The Start-up of You (Feb, 2012), reads "...thinking through the future of the mobile Internet with Kevin Rose at Digg and Milk (his mobile apps firm)...". 

On March 2012, Google acquired Milk, and in July 2012, Betaworks acquired Digg, so that sentence is already dated. Therefore Reid could send an update to your kindle like, ."..thinking through the future of the mobile Internet with Kevin Rose formally of Digg (acquired by Betaworks) and Milk (acquired by Google)…"

Waiting for Happiness

The following was a text conversation with a friend.

Me: 

Side story - I was at an interview yesterday, great interview, he asked great questions, he was clearly well prepared (English guy, CEO of newly formed division at d company)...at a point of the interview, I basically said indirectly that if the job was not the right fit for me, he should not hire me.

I didn't know until the interview, but it was a project management job in electrical engineering, I also said that Information Technology is where I would prefer to keep my focus on, and I have only a 3 month internship in electric engineering (from my 2nd year in university)…even though I have a BSc in electric engineering. 

I basically gave him reasons not to hire me.

I felt better, cos simple honesty really beats, trying to prove what I'm not into, because I want a job.

So ill be expecting d results next wk or wk after :)

Friend:

Haha

Love it

Me:

Yea:

Friend:

I love when someone knows what they want in life and goes after it

Me:

Bear in mind that I'm broke as $#t

But I know the direction I wanna head to

The interview was at ******* (huge conglomerate group) btw

Friend:

Don't worry

Before daylight there must always be a night

Where you don't even know where to head

Everything seems dark

Me:

Yea, I'm not worried. Surprisingly enough, I'm happy.

Few months ago, I was bored to my teeth. You remember when I used to

tell you…

Now, I have so much to do, I use my calendar a lot now

I joined the church media team, I've started tutoring again

Got two job offers - the hard part is choosing. And I have two more prospective jobs that I'm in the interviewing stages of. 

I may not have money, but I live, eat, and drive a car, provided by the God via the parentals.

So..I just looked on the bright side jare. My...(personal device of mine)... was stolen - don't matter, I'll buy a better one soon.

Friend:

:)

That's the spirit

When you are waiting, it's always good to be active

Me:

Exactly

Plus another lesson I needed to learn..if I keep waiting for that next job, or that next gf, or to move into my own apartment to make me happier..I might wait a long time

Cos when those things happen, I'll still need that next thing

Friend:

Yup

Yup

Me:

So why not find a way to be fulfilled now, no matter what life has in store

Friend:

Exactly. Dang God is working on my Folarin

Me

:D (laughing)

That's why I didn't wait to be comfortable to begin investing. I started when I was/am broke.

Friend

Update
The 'personal device' that was stolen was my iPad. It was stolen while I was working at church. Graciously, the church elders met and bought/replaced me a new iPad with double the hard drive
