Calvin Reid's article (http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6440843.html) for Publishers Weekly is a good summation of the International Digital Publishing Forum’s annual e-publishing conference in New York. Notable are Adobe System's Bill McCoy's comments:
"The future is here," said Adobe System’s Bill McCoy, borrowing a phrase of computer book publisher Tim O’Reilly, "but it’s unevenly distributed." McCoy’s point was that all publishers acknowledge the promise of digital distribution—they’re just waiting for the "digital tipping point," a device, new software, or a new standard to push digital distribution to the next level.
