Question for you:

Do you think the rise of the ebook is a sign that pretty soon the paper copy is going to go the way of the CD and the landline phone? Or will it just be an asset to the publishing world? I personally don't have a problem with ebooks (God knows it's helping me get my own fiction out), but I REALLY don't want to live in a future where books are 100% digital.

Cool blog, BTW!

Jonathan, it may seem to dodge the issue but I think it will all depend on what people demand. I have a houseful of paper books, but I love the idea of putting a thousand of them on a Kindle. And an ebook reader is so much more portable and convenient. I even read ebooks on my iPhone when I have a few moments to spare. Also, paper books consume trees and consume fuel in their distribution. Perhaps a guess will be that the expensive gift book - the "coffee table" book - will survive as a prize posession? As to textbooks, I really do think those are dinosaurs. And they will be replaced with multimedia ebooks, or Vooks, that work more like apps than traditional linear texts.
