PUBLISHING EVOLUTION #83: PAPER TO PIXELS (OR e-INK)
1. I prefer reading my books the old fashioned way. I like holding the book in my hand while reading. Sitting in front of a computer screen or scrolling through a digital reader just doesn't appeal to me yet.
2. Price doesn't influence how I get my books at all. Availability definately does. If I can't get it here in the library as quickly as I want it, I have no problem going to Barnes and Noble or online to Amazon.com and ordering what I want. I would never buy a digital book. (see above)
3. I don't see myself ever buying an eBook but if I did, I think I would like the idea of being able to previewing it first.
