Future of publishing? Konrath mentioned in Nathan Bransford blog

<< < (2/2)

Piotr1600:
In the mid- to long-term, I can easily see the paper and e-markets inverting.
Especially if many other authors soon manage to start making serious money in e-press.

There will *always* be at least some demand for print books. As works of the printers art, appreciated for the sensory experience if nothing else.

But, if you want to look at whats going to happen in publishing, I think that the music industry is a potentially *very* accurate model of things to come.
The industry has changed very considerably even in the last 10 years, much less the past 50.

I agree piotr. I've also heard that e-publishing is best for authors who have a large body of work already out there and not for debut single hits.  In other-words there is the chance for multiple sales.

I hope my Borders doesn't close. It's the only bookstore in my college community! If it does, then I'm really going to get serious on Kindle--out of necessity.
