Authoring Ladies,

Just been thinking about the iPad as I rwead an article that said iPad sales are killing sales of the Amazon Kindle.

Then I started thinking about what might happen if all books are only read/produced digitally?

Just think you would miss the chance to smell the fresh ink on your newest work, wouldn't you?

Here's an interesting post I just found that might be worth discussion: What will it mean when the ebook comes first? Or even if its the only format books take?

Food for thought, right? Here's the post, and I'd love to hear from you on this:
What will it mean when the ebook comes first?

Anne

It also means another business will be something of the past.
If we have only ebooks, who needs publishers? Who needs printers? Who needs bookbinders etc etc….
I do believe editors will be flourishing, but the rest of the literary lovers will have to seek new job markets. But what?

Editors flourishing?? Oh that's wonderful, laugh and be still my heart. Flourishing is good, wink I like flourishing...

That said, I doubt there will be any major changes for awhile yet, maybe never. I for one, and hundreds of thousands more, love to curl up with a 'real paper book.'
