I strongly agree with the closing argument: "I believe we will really start to see a faster shift towards electronic formats. Which, in turn, will lead to different forms of documentation than the non-collaborative "author teaches, reader learns" model. With online documentation, things can become more collaborative, which eases the burden of a single content provider." I have been reading more and more books on my phone (and on my PC!) since downloading the Kindle app a year ago. The release of the iPad has frustrated me - now each time I try to read a PDF of a programming text on my PC I think "for $500 I could make this a lot easier on myself". Eventually I'll probably break down and get a tablet if only for reading.
