I think there needs to be a more one of book publishing model.
Where I can get the ebook...read it...then if it's something truly valuable, I can spend $10-20-30 to have it printed as an actual hardcover book and shipped to my house.
I know there is on demand publishing now...but most of it is just so cheap. There needs to be a more premium solution where you get something you'd actually feel good with putting on a bookshelf.
Personally I think the only reason to publish traditionally is to get on all of the bestseller lists...which help drive more sales.
- kilian 16y agoI would very much like it to be the other way around. If I buy a dead-tree book, give me the ebook along with it. I like reading books for their bookiness and the way I can quickly reference them by walking up to my bookcase and pulling one out. However, if I want to read on the go, I don't want to drag along a big hardcover book when my iPhone is perfectly capable.
