The Sun Daily has an interesting story by Oon Yeoh called “eBooks: The Slow Wave” in which a digital media analyst is quoted saying digital publishing is not in its infancy, it is at the “embryonic stage.”
I have to agree with this viewpoint. Over the last year we’ve heard bloggers and techies say things like “E Ink eReaders” are yesterday’s news, and “are people still talking about tablets?” This comes from commentators who are following the trends so closely that they do not recognize how long the wave can last, or fail to see that trends may exist beyond the leading edge.
The truth is: the majority of people out there are still either unaware of what an eBook is, or are sure they’ll “never read a book on a computer.” The eBook Revolution has only just begun.
