Rothman's Deep Thoughts
E-books as an Rx--when even Harry Potter can't revive a sick p-book biz
What would change children's habits would be the widespread availability of free or at least inexpensive books that addressed their needs and interests--as well as those of their role models, their parents. Putting the books online, where so many children go to research their homework, would help. Maybe someday the book industry will learn to appreciate the efficiencies of e-books, ideally with wasteful middle people kept under control. The market will be there if business models improve, the way the technology is doing. Alas, with the higher prices, the book industry is going the wrong way.
