Funny, that's just what I've been thinking. Instead of mass marketing paper books, they'll make limited editions, really nice ones and those will be aimed at the book collectors. Though not necessarily in every genre... can't quite see it for the self-help books or current fad diet book o' the week, LOL!
I'm thinking Star Trek, where things like paper books or a pair of real glasses were collector treasures.
At any rate, will be interesting times!
I definitely like the feel of a real book, and own some signed copies. Just don't have the space for too many. I see my paper books as nice stand-ins for when the battery needs charging on my nook.
