Hi all,
So those of you in attendance this morning will now have read the article by Will Self on digital books and the argument surrounding whether or not this will constitute a threat to writers.
As I have said before, I think I am somewhere in the middle of the argument on digital books (not
a stance I take in many other aspects of my thinking) in that I like the idea of
feeling the book, annotating if I feel the inclination and displaying texts in
bookcases. That said, there is something to be said for storing info
electronically in a portable way, ideal for travel which is something that I am
very fond of.
So the question is, are you a fence sitter like me on this
subject or are do you have a firm view on the subject of digital
books?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and also what you thought
of the assessment from Tuesday, whether it be how you think you fared, the content
itself, actually doing the first assessment for me or anything
along those lines really. Go on, get typing why don't you!
No specific questions, just a general chit chat. Over to you...
Mark
I enjoyed reading the artical Mark. I see the pro's and con's for digital books personally i would probarly use 1 for uni but as for reading my books i would stick with my books nothing can replace the feel and smell of a book and ofcourse the page turning!
