Print is Dead: Books in Our Digital Age

This past Sunday, the UK Times Online had two stories about digital reading and the future of the book. One is called “Google plots e-books coup,” and talks about Google’s recent Unbound conference, while the other story is called “Could this be the final chapter in the life of the book,” and this one talks in more general terms about the “print is dead” debate. Neither of the stories break much new ground, but together they show that there’s a growing momentum in this topic not seen in a long time, and that it’s much more firmly grounded than the eBook days of 1999–2000 when it was more about the technology and grand predictions rather than today’s sober idea of giving an increasingly digital society a choice about how to consume its content.
