If I could digitise all my paperbacks and technical manuals into something like a Kindle or an iPad I would be a *very* happy person, as it would not only reduce the clutter but also give me back quite a bit of my living room and office. Digitised technical manuals would also have several advantages, including better search function -indexing can be a pain- and on the long term, the possibility of mixing the book with videos instead of images, which for some things where step-by-step instructions are required, it would be a blessing. Then my bookshelves could be used for books that don't translate as well to e-book format, or where the books themselves are exceptional pieces of design -not just writing- and become a piece of art: examples would be the Absolute Sandman books that DC released a couple of years ago, or the Fat Duck cookbook.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781098148723106088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-8327442274659869882010-07-27T04:48:40.550-07:002010-07-27T04:48:40.550-07:00Ebooks aren't gong anywhere.

I think 'real' books will become more valuable and Ebooks are going to evolve into something even more wonderful.<br /><br />Bottom line, no matter what happens with ebooks and paper books, there will always be a demand for writers.Vicki Rochohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381089434014961076noreply@blogger.com
