Whats So Funny About Tablets, Love, And A Bookless World?
As we crawl out of the first decade of the 21st century, it seems that big changes in publishing are afoot. Ten years ago the most ereader I did was loading "In The Beginning There Was The Command Line" onto my Palm Pilot. Now I'm reading - and sharing from - Steven Pinker's excellent The Better Angels of Our Nature on a slab of electronics and e-ink that costs as much as my Palm fold out keyboard cost in 2000.But what does this move mean? It means the last big book store chain, Barnes & Noble, is toast, at least as a physical presence in our cities and towns.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/34Ilq_A4448/
