  I think it more likely that this will be the reason that print will 
  continue to lose ground to electronic representations.

  Electronic devices will continue to improve their legibility and 
  resolution, but print books will never be able to increase their 
  mutability. With print you can have "any color you want, so long as it's 
  black." With e-books everyone can "have it your way."

  JH Writes:  Lee, I have no problem withthe rise of the ebook, its many formats and readers, both software and hardware.   Our disagreement centres only on the future state of the print book, and I have discussed before the possiblity that more titles than ever will be published and be in print wit hPOD.    While many fewer actual copies will be printed more may actually be sold.   And hopefully read ;-).
