Remember when cd's and dvd's came out then ipod? I believe soon ereaders will be so cheap that in 10 yrs it will be common place to have your ereader instead of lugging around any books - even school books. That would be great. It’s funny.

It's coming, no matter how much publishers resist such progress. But it's not going to fully overtake tree publishing for awhile. As an author and small publisher, I'm trying to work with both epub and treepub. Thanks for the insights. Interesting stuff, Danny. It’s coming, no matter how much publishers resist such progress.

I was heartened by his view that small publishers can have a strong position in this world by paying attention to the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that have beset the music industry. e-books may well be an industry-leveling development just as e-music has been to music publishing. The independents can compete at the level of the biggest publisher once the historic distribution channels are flattened.
