Reading the future: Digital books and what's to come for literature
Far from killing off the physical page, the rise of ebooks has enhanced our understanding of the written word and the people around it, says Gaby Wood
… things are settling to a point where the physical and the digital have a much more co-operative relationship. For instance, it’s a commonplace that people no longer print their family snaps because everything is taken on digital cameras; but now the ease of digital publishing means that, if you choose to, you can design and order up a much more sophisticated photograph album than you ever could before. Equally, digitisation is encouraging the growth of small magazines, fostering a new burst of creativity, and traditional publishers can print on demand.
