Are Books An Endangered Species?
by Michael Levin
The publishing world gathers next week in New York City at
BookExpo America, its
annual trade show, but the one subject attendees won't be discussing is the
coming collapse of publishing and the inevitable disappearance of books.
It's not just that books are going to Kindles and iPads. It's that books are
going away, and the publishers have no one but themselves to blame.
