Life At college, I visited lecture upon lecture about how the book would continue in spite of the Internet. Years later how right they were. Smell a book. Smell your monitor. Which one would you rather try putting in your pocket? With a advent of PDA’s and Padds, WAP and what ever noodling Apple might be doing the idea of text as media is set to develop. Hard copy fans will complain that it isn’t the same. There is more quality to a book. That they read better. But when the convenience of being able to read whatever you like, whenever you like, wherever you like becomes a reality they really will love the fact they don’t have to carry ten books away on holiday with them . . .
