More: is the book going to survive?

Following on with the current hot potato of whether the book, in its traditional form, is going to survive in the future or whether we'll be tripping over people engrossed in e-readers on public buses in just a few years' time, here's an interesting article discussing the matter with Scott Pack.

Scott was a great help to myself and Legend Press when first starting out and he was at the helm of Waterstone's, and I agree with a lot of what he says in the article. Again, feel free to add your own views - need to find out whether to try and put some money aside for a special, future Legend Press Reader.

I have submitted my comment thus:

I agree that non-fiction books are going this way, but with novels it’s different. There’s the familiar feel of a favourite book, sharing with friends, buying second-hand. But there will always be a place for hard copy which doesn’t require batteries.
