What’s the future of the book in the iPad era?
What is the future of the book in the iPad era? We are at a unique meeting point for all things digital & analogue. Right now is a very exciting time to be involved with storytelling.
Big Do
Think about how publishing can engage with what you do
Little Do
Read a book digitally and be vocal about your experience
Not all of the above concepts make sense for all kinds of books. My personal guess is that the book market will blur into a range of different reading experiences, e.g. a typical programmers’ handbook will preferably tie into the community and offer downloads, while a sci-fi novel might include movie artefacts. A collection of short stories would probably cater more to the distracted, etc.
