About the Author/作者介绍： 杰森是一位开产品开发经理,亚马逊初期技术的创造者。在他的协助下发明了今天电子书所使用的技术以及他的团队发明的被三分之一电子阅读器使用的技术。曾在麻省理工学院学习理论数学,后来在有关电信和电子商务的美国最大在线零售商工作了近二十年，他与各大大小小的出版商合作构建电子书的未来。作为一个数字化的先驱者，在1990年，他编写并出版了第一本在线电子书。作为一个先驱者,他在西雅图家里和硅谷公司待得时间一样多，尽管他向往去新墨西哥的沙漠高地,在那里他可以躺在吊床上凝视云层和古代岩画。Jason Merkoski was a development manager, product manager, and the first technology evangelist at Amazon. He helped to invent technology used in today’s eBooks and was a member of the launch team for each of the first three Kindle devices. Trained in theoretical math at MIT, he worked for almost two decades in telecommunications and e-commerce with America’s biggest online retailers, and he’s worked with publishers large and small to shape the future of eBooks. As a digital pioneer, he wrote and published the first online eBook in the 1990s. As a futurist, he’s equally at home in Seattle or Silicon Valley, although he’s drawn to the high desert of New Mexico, where he can string up his hammock and stare into the clouds and ancient petroglyphs.
