The publishing industry is crazy. Figure it out here.
A History of Future Publishing
by Giles Slade:
What I want to see is an e-Book that is no longer a simulacrum of a printed work. Soon, when people begin writing exclusively for eBooks, book metaphors like pagination will lose their functionality and fall away. But I also want the new medium to develop brand new possibilities. Maybe then, we will stop calling them e-Books and simply call them 'eebs.'
I like how this guy thinks, wanting us to get to the point where we are with music, where digital is the common space and analogue for the true believer.
