Mamut does not have a blog of his own, but says he would not mind publishing some of the LiveJournal bloggers. The interview was occasioned by Mamut's acquisition of a 100 percent stake in the publishing group <noindex><a href="http://inostranka.ru/en/publishers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Inostranka</a></noindex>. It turns out that the book mogul Mamut is skeptical about the success of e-books. Yet he hinted at what he called an invisible link between his acquisition of LiveJournal and publishing houses and the bookstore chain <noindex><a href="http://bookberry.ru" / target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bookberry</a></noindex> which he owns. "I have a strong emotional affection for book publishing," Mamut said.</p> <p><a href="http://webplanet.ru/english/2006/12/14/mamut_eng.html">Далее</a></p> http://webplanet.ru/english/2006/12/14/mamut_eng.html#comment Thu, 14 Dec 2006 20:32:28 +0300 translator 14045 at http://webplanet.ru
