"Cyberbooks" by Ben Bova
While browsing an online auction website I came across a title that caught my eye - Cyberbooks by Ben Bova. I don't know if it has been mentioned before but seeing as it was written in 1989 I guess that's a predicition he got right, although the format of todays ebooks are a bit different.
Book Review plus cover art I might just place a bid on the paperback to see how the story turns out... The blurb on the back is also classic. I think it sums up the current publishing industry nicely. Quote:

I happen to have that book. It's a shame postage is so high, otherwise I'd just give it to you.

It's one of life's little ironies that Cyberbooks is not available in e-book format...

Well originally it was just an interesting title I came across seeing as it predicted ebooks way before their time. It wasn't meant as a recommendation/discussion of the actual book. That's why I put it here.
