The phys­i­cal book is dead, accord­ing to Negro­ponte. He said he real­izes that’s going to be hard for a lot of peo­ple to accept. But you just have to think about film and music. In the 1980s, the writ­ing was on the wall that phys­i­cal film was going to die, even though com­pa­nies like Kodak were in denial. He then asked peo­ple to think about their youth with music. It was all phys­i­cal then. Now every­thing has changed.

via Nicholas Negro­ponte: The Phys­i­cal Book Is Dead In 5 Years. I’m right there in the camp of elim­i­nat­ing phys­i­cal copies of every­thing as fast as pos­si­ble. I absolutely love ebooks.
