Young people hate books and dead tree publishing is finished. Yes?

Found this YouTube video via Lucacept.



And Lucacept's discussion about the issues facing libraries lending files (e-books, audiobooks) is most relevant and not, at present, finding answers from publishers.

Watch the video on YouTube here if you the one above doesn't work for you.

It's a brilliant video.  Brilliant.  Bravo DK/Penguin USA.

Cheers

PS. And the format of this strikes me as having possibilities for writing, too.

Oh ... I also like your PS that the format has possibilities for writing. I'll keep that idea in the back of my mind for future reference.
