Nick Hornby on eBooks
So I'd seen various links to Nick Hornby on eBooks and, fool that I am, I assumed it would be the usual blather about smell of the paper etc etc. Wrong I was.
Read it. It's quite a straightforward analysis but pretty much all true.
The bit that he misses is of course critical: that the future of eBooks has nothing to do with the development of an eBook reading device, but rather software that enables easy reading of long form narrative on whatever devices might be popular at a given moment.
But, for the moment, don't let that detract from your reading of his post—each point he makes must be contended with if we're to successfully be connecting writers to readers effectively in the coming years and decades.
