Books, libraries and Applestore

It's worth looking at his website keiichimatsuda.com Any other thoughts about developments that might occurr. I was in Waterstones the other day then I went to the library and realised things were definitely changing. What is the future of the book. I popped into the Mac store which was heaving with a wide range people surfing the net, getting tips on how to make films, websites and generally exchanging information with people instore or online, and I wondered if a book shop could be more like that. There were a few e readers in Waterstones but some of them were secured to the wall. A book is very special but is it the only way to deliver the story and could traditional books be more special? There's a funny reaction to technological development, the reactionary energy that fuels nostalgia or tradition. I noticed Penguin are offering collectors books from their website.
