KIndle: Good news or bad?

[MagnetsAndHangers]

Wouldnt really bother me if books vanished - except I would have find something else to stop my kitchen table wobbling.

Remember going to the music store, buying albums and 45's. Looking through the Black light posters smelling the incense from the back room...gone

Remember going into a Bookstore ordering a cup of coffee and relaxing with your favorite book...gone

Remember the mom and pop video stores...gone

I miss just about every aspect technology has taken away, couldn't we have both!

A BIG A-men to that!!!

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Well said, but I don't think we will have both.

Remember letters ?

Even email is declining now, young ones use mobiles and Facebook - they "Facebook" you.

Why not? We still have radio and TV along with the Internet.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

I am still selling quite a few fiction books.

I prefer printed books because the battery never gets low.

I haven't sold any of my books yet

I suspect I will get a Kindle or similar sometime. I would use it to read books from Project Gutenberg while on the move.

I've looked at one in the store, and I found the e-ink screen quite readable. Having free internet access while roaming would also be useful.

The way people talk you'd think that the ebook had only just been invented; I've been reading them for over a decade.
Books will not die out.
Publishing houses will adapt (or fail) just like they always have done.
Fiction will probably become published in greater numbers electronically whilst non-fic is much easier to access in the dead tree version.
IMO.
