e- books

E-books are the new wave of the future. This article discusses how the rise in online sales of e-books may make the printed book obsolete and a collectors item.

It is interesting to ponder whether this will move into the world of scripts for actors. Imagine having your notes updated nightly on the reader so that all you'd have to do is upload the new version instead of read through hashed out markings on a paper script. Also, imagine how it might change the way news casts are presented - all news appearing on the e-reader instead of on paper. Updates coming immediately through the e- reader rather than through a production assistant.
