They are serious today for they need an edge to the growing market advantage the internet has. They used to shun from the idea for the internet was so full of bad news and other piracy issues. The recession is forcing them to take a second look at it and they are taking it seriously indeed. Publishers have hit hard by digital media and it was only time when they would have had to accept the fact that paper is a resource that is going to get more and more expensive.
Now what’s in it for us, well remember the Kindle that Oprah endorsed, well it’s long been a standing design or vision of how future books would look like. Plain and simple devices that displayed text for us to read as if it were a book. The good thing is that laptops and other portable devices are converging into one technology that may soon see all these gadgets and gizmos all rolled into one package. That opens the door wide open for writers who have long shifted to the internet for their work. Major publishers are taking a hard look at the future and they are seeing a sliver of light passing through, good for us, all of us.
