Re: [LM_NET] GEN: At Publishers' Convention, Is the Writing On the Wall? Book Industry Braces For Paperless Future

I certainly hope not. I personally still like to hold the book or papers to read. I 
like the feeling of accomplishment when I place the book mark in the book to hold 
my place. Knowing that the more pages I read the closer to the end i am, trying to 
figure out who dun it or who falls in love.

At Publishers' Convention, Is the Writing On the Wall? 
Book Industry Braces For Paperless Future

NEW YORK, May 31 -- If you wanted to think about the future of the written word, 
the publishing industry's annual convention, held at Manhattan's Javits Center, was 
the place to be over the past few days. 

There was a problem, though. 

BookExpo America was almost guaranteed to make your head hurt. 

This was especially true if you were a traditional publisher or bookseller, a 
late-adapting lover of physical books, or just someone inclined to wrinkle your 
nose at the mention of the word "twitter."
