Today, we have stories about recycling your Apple products, micropayments, alternatives to Wikipedia, the EU digital market, music streaming and more. And in the deals department, a 3D printer and horror book deals.

Daily Links for day, March 23, 2016:

The New York Times, Washington Post, Time Inc and others begin testing micropayments (Digiday) I have been watching Blendle for a while now. It will be interesting if this takes off.

Book lover found himself locked in public library (The Morning Call)Is this your fantasy or your nightmare? And, yeah, they talk about that Twilight Zone episode…

Wharton dropout creates Wikipedia alternative alongside Rap Genius co-founder ( The Daily Pennsylvanian) I am not a fan of Wikipedia and their policies, so I think alternatives are fantastic.

Europe wants an interoperable e-book market (Teleread) I keep asking this question: Do we live in a global economy or not? One Digital Market, right? Why is this so complicated.

Streaming Is Officially the Biggest Part of the Music Business, Which Wants YouTube to Pay Up (ReCode) Streaming is here to stay. You Tube may be the biggest of them all, but it pays artists the least.

How Much Money You’ll Make When You Recycle Through Apple’s Renew Program ((Lifehacker) You can sell some of your old stuff back to Apple for gift cards you can use to buy new stuff! (There is a George Carlin routine buried in here somewhere….)

App updates for publishing platform apps, and more (Talking New Media) Apple’s new IOS update caused a lot of apps to have issues.

(A note on Daily Deals: All prices current at the time of posting and subject to change. Most items marked Daily Deals are good for only the day posted.

Many large promotions have discount pricing that is set by the publisher. This usually means that titles can be found at a discount price across most platforms (with iTunes sometimes being the exception). If you have a favorite retailer you like to patronize, check the title on that website. There is a good chance that they will be matching the sale price.)
