The countdown until The Corner has begun for me– actually, I’ll probably be there quite a bit earlier than 6 to get a little work done, meet with anyone who wants to, etc. But before I go (a few errands before), I thought I’d post this link I found via a Facebook “friend”: “No Ink, No Paper: What’s The Value Of An E-Book?” which was a story on NPR’s “Morning Edition” today. Interesting stuff.

Interesting. My son’s fiancee works for HR at Borders and the book industry is suffering from real problems in general. I still think there will be a market for books, but obviously this is going to change the face of publishing in general. The old idea of self-published books which required time and money as well as storage space, seems to be disappearing. Maybe the new concept will be to buy directly from the writer via pay pal!?
I think they should lower the prices or if they are going to keep the prices the same, they should donate it to universal health care and student loan debt. LOL
Sorry.
So can I assume that the people that offer their books for free can basically afford to do that?
