2001 Was a Tough Read for E-Books
It's been a difficult year for e-publishing, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering it's been a difficult year for businesses in general, and particularly those having to do with the Internet.
As 2001 comes to a close, Wired News asked 201 authors, publishers, retailers and other industry analysts to describe the high points and low points of the year, and to present a wish list for 2002.
Since it was a bad year, we'll start with the bad news.

What was the best news of the last 12 months?
Michael S. Hart, director of Project Guttenberg: "The number of e-books available for free download on the Net will pass 20,000. The number of Net users will start heading towards 1 billion."
