Apt’s links for July 19th through July 20th

• PragDave: If you work for Apple, we need your help… – Seems like – from the infrastructure to the bug testing, to the legals – the thinking for how the practicalities of a developer community for iPhone would work fall some way short of perfect.
• Kindle PDF tips | TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home – “You can?t read a PDF on the Kindle, you can?t convert a PDF for a Kindle, but Amazon tells you how to use the Kindle via a PDF file. Ironic, no?” Guest post by Joe Wikert
• Engineering the Risk Out of Book Publishing – Media Blog – Jeff Bercovici – Mixed Media – Portfolio.com – “The idea behind HarperStudio [..] is to do away with the “mega-risks”: large advances, high marketing costs and, for books that sell poorly, the added expense of pulping unsold copies”
• Piracy | Look for the silver lining | Economist.com – Piracy is a bad thing. But sometimes companies can turn it to their advantage
