Hi Hugh, nice to meet you at the conference. Re: above, I agree that books and e-books are different animals. I think of e-books as metadata for print books. Like metadata, e-books make books more findable on the web, especially if they are full text. Like metadata, e-books provide a shortcut for evaluating a book’s value. Then, if it merits a proper read, I buy or borrow a print copy.
