No shortage of comments elsewhere on the coming ebook revolution. But here's one you might not have seen from the New Zealand Herald business supplement by Sean D'Souza, CE of Psychotactics and author of The Brain Audit -- Why Customers Buy (And Why They Don't).
"It may well turn out that you can continue to print a paper book as a collector's item or a special bonus, but the paper book will simply become unfeasible in the long run no matter how sentimental you feel about it.
"The paper book will fade away.
"Film in cameras faded away. CDs faded away. And the paper book will have its own ride into the sunset -- still around, but niche and largely marginalised."
