I like your haiku -- and I certainly hope that's true. I like having ebooks in the mix, but I'm not ready to part with the special enjoyment of print books.
Very true! I believe that just as youtube didn't eradicate the television, e-books will not force print books out of publication.
I've been enjoying your tweets on the subject all week. I really appreciate your balanced perspective on the whole issue.
I'm all for the mix. I just hope the quality of writing and illustration remains high!
RAD-Dot Painter,
I feel the same way. The quality of the majority of the self-pubbed e-books is not up to par with traditional publishing but like in everything, there will be some great ones.
I long for new books
The road to buy is open
Web winged or bookstore
So, good writing wins.
