From a scholarly publisher's perspective, e-books seem to be a great way driver of revenues <a href='http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=medical+ebooks&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a' rel="nofollow">for SEO-savvy pirates</a>, but rather less effective for the publishers themselves. Of course, it's <a href='http://stwem.com/2010/02/09/the-death-of-the-sponsored-supplement/' rel="nofollow">not just the scholarly book's business model</a> that is under seige.

I don't think the mind rejects the possibility of the extended narrative because we also have the option of episodic forms. The challenge for the book industry is to identify the audience for the future long-form texts. This may be a smaller audience than heretofore for books, but I suspect that someone will be reading Erasmus two hundred years from now. Ah, David. I am so optimistic about books.
