Agree with your sentiment but I don't think economics will be the cause of fewer books being printed. The technology for printing has advanced to the point that Amazon and other Print-on-Demand companies are able to fulfill their standard delivery promises for online orders without even carrying inventory.
- bphogan 10y agoI'll bet five American dollars it will. The future will most likely be fewer books printed because publishers will just stop doing it and offer print-on-demand, passing the price to the customer. My tmux book was originally done like that - printed only on demand. And the price difference reflected it.
