Smart post on publishing’s future
Here’s an illuminating post on Ebooks and what role they may play in the future of publishing.
I haven’t touched a Kindle yet, but if past is prologue, Amazon’s entry into electronic reading will only get better over time as more companies and better technology improves the concept.
Which means that some version of electronic paper is here to stay.
How that works for authors and readers is still very much up in the air. This gent from Oxford University Press doesn’t think that Ebooks can be as revolutionary as promised because they don’t provide publishers with the short-term cash flow necessary to sustain their business…
But in our current state of Creative Destruction, is that enough of an obstacle to keep ebooks from flourishing?
