Through discussions such as this the ebook publishers are starting to realise the need to consider libraries in their planning. I couldn't help but come to the aid of Marshall as he was defending the paper copy book. I really feel that it's the secondary school market and tertiary that will go first rather than the recreational reads and I think that's the point Marshall was making. All those expensive science and maths books that cost $70 - $100 each and have been the bread and butter of the publishers here in Australia. Thanks for a great show, as always. I'm in a secondary school library in Victoria, Australia and look forward to your podcast. Keep up the good work. Regards Camilla Must thank you for this discussion on ebooks.
