But I think it's not clear exactly how that's going to look going forward. But I agree - digital is here to stay, and we all better be dealing with it.Greg Pincushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449684160718426340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22755318.post-61053998883423920572010-02-11T14:07:28.606-08:002010-02-11T14:07:28.606-08:00You have touched on what both excites and scares t...You have touched on what both excites and scares the heck out of anyone affiliated with books regardless of whether they are pop-up or flat! <br /><br />Yes, the possibilities are endless. (Don't get me started on missing the 'feel' of books... Digital books are happening whether we like it or not. I'm sure someone will develop a digital tactile feel of a 'real' book complete with a digital 'smell' of real paper and glue....) <br /><br />So yes, there will be lots of fun bells and whistles, blurring the line between books and entertaining games.... I suppose if it still can have a parent and child interacting as well as reading it's a good thing. If a book has to stand up and grow and grow like a beanstalk and sing in order to entice a reader, then it's a great thing. As a creator of books, the trick is, will they still pay us to create them?Barney Saltzberg Author, Illustrator, Songwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127456295906870056noreply@blogger.com
