Kindles and iPads and Books

January 29th, 2010 by Terry Dugan

ipadWith the now serious arrival of e-books for a growing list of devices (I read mine on my iPod Touch) culminating in Apple’s much-vaunted iPad, clearly e-reading has the attention of the mainstream publishing industry. All the publications are abuzz with it, but what I wonder is how does the book-loving public feel about it? Particularly here on this forum, writers, authors and aspiring authors—serious book-lovers all—how do you feel about it?

  • Does the e-book represent a fad with a limited category of readers, or a revolution in publishing?
  • Do you buy/read e-books?
  • Do you see the e-book benefiting the overall book-publishing enterprise (does a rising tide lift all ships, including traditional books)?
  • Have you authors out there explored offering your new titles in both formats?

I’d love to hear what you all think.
