If there was a conclusion analysis to this poll it would be that since the ebook is so young, most text lovers are still wrapped up in the transfer pains from one medium to the other. As such it would take at least one human generation to sort it all out.
Some will argue that ambivalence between mediae will stay, others that change will not take place, but most will accept the change and gladly accept that paper goes away. I believe that all three will remain with the third becoming stronger and stronger.
One thing is certain. Big industrial presses will die. I will not cry for them for they have killed the small artisan press.
As a fervent believer of the ebook and an artisan myself, I would like to see a rebirth. That of the artisan press, one done on hand made paper, with art in mind...
