AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Publishing & Tech: Amazon quietly hardened Kindle DRM via a firmware update, making DRM-removal tools less effective and pushing some readers to look at Kobo. Reading Apps: One columnist says they switched from Goodreads to Fable for smoother navigation and a more design-forward experience. Local Literary Life: El Dorado Hills Library launches an Author Showcase panel (Sept. 29) spotlighting local writers and the craft/business of getting published. Crime & Scams (Book-world angle): A travel-scam warning highlights how fake QR codes, bogus booking emails, and AI-made sites are evolving fast. Sci-Fi/Thriller Screen-to-Page Buzz: Netflix is adapting Ali Hazelwood’s adult romance novel Deep End, while DC’s Lanterns keeps leaning into noir-style storytelling with fewer classic costumes. Community & Access: A new Little Free Library project brings books to Fresh Meals on Wheels recipients.
