Off to bookcamp on Saturday to discuss the future of the book.
Looking forward to hearing how physical delivery mechanisms affects perceived value, patterns of consumption and structure of content.
My weakness is collecting hardback fiction. I'm seduced by physical objects whose properties influence how and when I read.
If books are luxury objects then e-publication will make books more accessible but less valuable than before. Interested to hear if other attendees think this will threaten the production and marketing of traditional formats such as the novel.
