[Michlib-l] The Economist Essay: The Future of the Book

[Jim Flury]

All,

I enjoyed this essay published by The Economist magazine called From Papyrus to Pixels. It touches upon many of the topics we have discussed recently, including the growth of self-publishing, eBooks, what role traditional publishers may (or may not) have in the future, Amazon, etc.
