And Seth Godin writes on his blog 'You won't find me on Amazon's new book reader' how Kindle could change the World of Books, if ... but ...
My stand on this:
- I don't want a special 'reading-books-device'
- I don't want to buy a device, I would take a subscription, for reading (and working with) 'Books' on any device I have (or buy in the future) to access all 'Books'(Magazines, Newspapers, etc.) available and not available (in print)
- I think publishers and/or authors (text, stills, audio, video, etc.) must find a way that my subscription to the Internet does make money for them and not stay in full with the Internet provider
To Seth:
in most countries we have a high penetration on personal computers screens, even more so with mobile devices (and the younger once have additionally their console) - so with reach (and budget) you are much better off this way
To Rex:
You are still young - I don't have to check out anymore all inventions, I trust my peers ;-)
