I am a fucking massive spacker. Sorry.

Still, Playboy should be THINKING like this. As should every publisher. And the majority, I imagine aren't. Heck. Name me a publishing house that got online right? How will they cope with this!

But again, apologies for getting my knickers in a twist with you. I am the dick that can't read it turns out. How embarrassing.

That is really cool of you to say. Thanks man.

Very cool

Wow this excellent i haven't hear of it before!!

I was very impressed in the part when you can play games guessing what will happen in the live game!

dmg44 · 12-18-2009, 08:28 PM

Hope Playboys do it too!!!

I think people that work with technology for a living overestimate how different the general public is... Yes, the Ipod took off, but before that everyone had a portable CD player, portable cassette player... it wasn't a new product, just a better product.

People who read books like books. I really don't see the cost of a device, in addition to the cost of a book that you don't actually get to own, winning over people who read.

Hell most the books and magazines I read I read because I can't or won't have an electronic device with me... It's sort of a non compete product. The Kindle is cool and all, but anywhere I'd bring one I'd just bring my netbook, otherwise I'll take a disposable used paperback or a magazine. Apple making a slightly more expensive and trendy version of it will not wipe out print media.

8 years ago I had a badass 10" sony vaio. I still think it was a better unit than my current netbook.

Not sure what your point is? That technology evolved? Yes it did. That people work with technology are ahead of the masses? Yes they are. Can't see anyone suggesting otherwise.

I am saying that when Apple release this rumoured tablet thing AND strike a deal with all the publishers and do an iTunes Book/Mag store, a tipping point may be reached, just like when they launched the iPod in tandem with the iTunes music store.

Many technologies never find life among consumers. The flying car and computers that converse with their owners have both failed to appear in the mainstream (although for different reasons).

However, ebooks do not appear to be in this category. As of May 2009, ebooks account for 35% of Amazon's book sales (when the ebook is available). This is why Barnes and Noble invested so much money and prestige in their own e-reader this autumn (the nook).

And this is BEFORE the tipping point has been approached.

Who is suggesting that is going to happen?

I said that a device will come out AND a book/mag version of the iTunes Music Store. Those two things in tandem is what will make us reach the tipping point. Just like it did for music sales.

Would you like to make a bet?

The apple device is launching soon. The publishers are all loving the deal apple is putting to them. The publishers are all REALLY pissed off with Amazon, and their deal.

I give it till September next year.

20 bucks or a blowjob from a crack whore in Amsterdam WMA next year says I'm right.

My girl reads an average of 3 books per month. When I was trying to feel her out whether she liked the Kindle (potential xmas gift) she basically shot it down in every way possible.

Going to a book store is therapeutic. Walking up and down the aisles. Looking for books, getting a coffee, taking "her" time. She loves it. She isn't interested in stopping that practice.

She loves the smell of books, and curling up with a good computer just isn't the same.

She never wants a computer to buy books on.

Now, for me...... bring that sucker on. I would subscribe to 20 magazines if I had that demo I just saw. Easily.

I agree with many here that print will never succumb. What I think will happen, for what it's worth is, readerships will grow because people like me who won't buy books WILL in fact buy the computers/tablets that are coming because we're tech geeks, and we have to have it, and we still have the desire to be informed and entertained.
