    New Managing Partners - Read this book

    Interesting book by law firm management consultant Patrick McKenna: First 100 Days: Transitioning a New Managing Partner.  In addition to some of his own useful observations about law firm management, McKenna also offers real-world commentary of leaders from firms like Baker & McKenzie, Morgan Lewis, Pillsbury Winthrop, Ropes & Gray and Sonnenschein.

    The format of the e-book is interesting too, but I'd rather not have to navigate a 'clever interface' to gather information about McKenna's book. How about a simple website? Or a blog?  Mr. McKenna's book has great information and I'd like to get at it more easily.  Why not do something like what Daniel Gilbert did to promote his book, Stumbling on Happiness?

    Hi Ernie,

    Thanks for the mention of our technology. At NXTbook, we fully
    fully realize that we're a hybrid product, in between the areas
    of print and web.

    That being said, we've actually got a few features inside the
    product that are specifically designed to help bloggers like
    yourself. If you press the link button, you can easily track down
    the permalinks to pages or post page links directly to del.icio.
    us (just as you offer on your blog). This type of functionality
    doesn't exist with PDFs or other digital publishing formats.

    In the end, you're right: you have to get at the info easily, and
    we're always looking at ways to make it easier.
