John- Regarding book publishers. My boyfriend and his father write and illustrate children's books for a European publisher. They deliver all their work electronically. The publisher and client than review the work, request changes (always for the worse) and than receive back the corrected work. The practicality of creating books this way is just starting. It's just a matter of time (short) before all publishers will be working electronically. The reason they want hard copies I suspect is for editing purposes away from a computer. Doing things the "old" way.Some habits are hard to change.

Here is a link to an article about e-publishing with a number of useful links at the end of the article. It gives several examples of niche publishing. I disagree that multifunction devices will be the preferred device for using e-books. Palm: too small a screen and too expensive (for a decent screen as in the IIIc), desktop: not portable, and laptop: portable but even more expensive than the Palm. techreview.com July/August 2000 The Real E-Books "Forget those single-purpose e-book readers. The future of electronic publishing lies in files you can download to, view on and print out from the computer you already own."
