The e-book and the p-book, living in harmony.

Did you see this in Newsweek back in early August? http://www.newsweek.com/content/newsweek/2010/08/03/back-story-books-vs-e-books/_jcr_content/par/image.img.jpg/1280849255449.jpg

I absolutely love the message in this summary comparison. We are all seeing more and more e-readers in public but seems my local bookstores are as jammed as they always have been with people buying good old “p-books”. These methods to read are certainly not exclusive and in time will live in harmony. Most importantly, what are we all doing as individual companies to prepare for this new world of reading consumers? Is .XML the new .pdf? Remember when barley anyone knew what .pdf even meant? It took years for it to take a hold in page submission and prepress. Could we merely be repeating history… I think maybe we are….
