[Ert Retre]

Dear members:

>> I’m pleased to announce the publication of my new book Media Convergence in Japan, co-edited with Patrick W. Galbraith. This collection of essays explores the convergences and divergences arising from the digital transition in Japanese media culture. The ebook version has been published for free and open access in PDF <https://archive.org/download/MediaConvergenceInJapan/Media%20Convergence%20in%20Japan.pdf>,  ePub <https://archive.org/download/MediaConvergenceInJapan/Media%20Convergence%20in%20Japan.epub>, and Mobi <https://archive.org/download/MediaConvergenceInJapan/MediaConvergenceInJapan.mobi> formats for download from the Internet Archive <https://archive.org/details/MediaConvergenceInJapan>  For those seeking a print copy of the book, it is available for order from Amazon’s global network at a reasonable price. This book was an experiment in academic publishing that was made possible through the cooperation of Kinema Club. Patrick and I appreciate the support of Markus and Aaron as well as the other members of the Kinema Club Editorial Collective.
