Forget e-Books. Online publishers believe the biggest challenge to the "paperback in your pocket" will come from publishing on demand. Chris Middleton reports
Of course, paper-based books are a technology that works. They are lightweight, portable, cheap, renewable and recyclable - and free from the bugs, viruses and system crashes that plague your PC.
Small wonder, then, that the "paperback in your jeans pocket", as Penguin promoted its novels to post-war teenagers, has never been bettered, despite attempts by software and hardware companies to do so for today's e-generations.
But just as Napster brought "backlist" and deleted music to its millions of users - music unavailable in local shops who shift chart music, DVDs, games and videos to keep their franchises alive - so POD companies can keep authors' books alive; works that might otherwise be lost because of the expense of republishing them.
This article shows how the author was not doing enough homework on ebooks. In his mind, he still thinks that most reader using PC to read the books. Read my lips: They are using Pi Dee Ay mr. Chris. And try to bring three or 4 paper back in your pocket... See what I mean?
