Stephen Covey, e-book pioneer.

Stephen R. Covey, one of the most successful business authors of the last two decades, has moved e-book rights to two of his best-selling books from his print publisher, Simon & Schuster, a division of the CBS Corporation, to a digital publisher that will sell the e-books to Amazon.com for one year . . .

The move promises to raise the already high anxiety level among publishers about the economics of digital publishing and could offer authors a way to earn more profits from their works than they do under the traditional system.

Selectively Mormonizing Public Figures

Selectively Mormonizing public figures. It’s interesting that with all of Glenn Beck’s recent popularity (and notoriety) that he hasn’t been tagged more as a Mormon. The same has been the case for Sen. Reid.

Beck’s a ripe target for ridicule from his many critics. But that makes it all the more strange that his Mormon faith hasn’t come up like it did with Romney. Is it because he’s not threatening to certain Evangelicals?

From David Archuletta to Stephenie Meyer: the LDS Newsroom looks at reconciling fame with Mormon faith.

One notion some reporters bring to their interviews with Mormon celebrities is that all Latter-day Saints are the same: squeaky clean and somehow unsuited to fame. The reality is, however, that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are all different, and those rising to prominence in their respective fields will handle the spotlight in their own ways. Some choose to push their beliefs aside, to varying degrees, as they make their way in fast-paced, high-profile industries such as movies, music and professional sports. Many, though, find ways to stay grounded and true to their faith while seeking to excel in their chosen pursuits.
