What Are Other Bloggers Saying About BookExpo?

BookFox has some video interviews like this one with Kelly Link:

Bethanne Patrick, PW's "Book Maven" (who I saw fleetingly for two seconds as we passed each other outside the auxiliary exhibition hall: "It's really a pleasure to be in a convention center that's modern, clean, and spacious. It makes a difference."

⇒Literary agent Kristin Nelson: "Jeff Bezos... what a snoozer. I’m as evangelical for the Kindle as any good consumer can be but the first 30 minutes of his 'talk' was basically a commercial for the Kindle."

&8658;Jackson West of Valleywag says publishers weren't impressed by the rest of Amazon.com's Kindle touting, and suggests they should have tried giving the readers away: "A three-figure price point simply won't get the devices into the hands of readers fast enough to make the market for content worthwhile for publishers anytime soon."

Carolyn Kellogg of the LA Times bookblog Jacket Copy got some fun mini-interviews on the show floor with the likes of Julie Burton and Richard Nash.

⇒Among the NY media bloggers, Leon Neyfakh encapsulates the press feedback (though I'd argue that what he calls "uncharacteristically vivid and impassioned language" on Michael Cader's part is actually not entirely atypical for Publishers Lunch) while Boris Kachka of New York used the Vulture blog to follow the political chatter, chat with bestselling author Ron Jeremy, and discovered that this fall's going to be the season of the witch.
