Demand for books and music are heathier than ever, in part due to the better ease of accessing, ordering, researching, recommending etc... they aren't going away by any means but the methods of distribution and consumption are evolving rapidly and established industry is not keeping up. They have the temerity to blame users, device makers, etc...but they need to adapt faster and make content more accessible, not try and hide in walled gardens. Looking forward to the next wave of publishing. Can’t agree more.
