This, I never expected print books to go away, and it makes total sense the the biggest buy-in for ereading would be baby boomers since our eyes are getting old. The next generation after us will take up the flag after we have gone and their aging eyes take over.

The only big publishing books I get are from the library, everything else I read are self published, and I have more books at prices I am willing to buy to read then ever before.

It's a shame we no longer get a year end break down from the Data Guy.

The big 5 can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. There is plenty of room for all of them, and having that choice is what is the most important thing.
