SDH,
If you decide to start putting your books out in electronic format I suppose I'll finally have to get one. Just not the same as paper but a damn sight better than no book at all. What I worry about is that there are multiple formats for e books and many are not compatible. Which one will survive? If any? I also worry about obsolescence of the media. How many here still have 5" or mini floppy drives or still use VHS (or BetaMax)? Or have any one of a number of programs or files your new computers can't read? I can see having an electronic library that I can't read in 5 years. Even if I choose the right format, what happens when the memory crashes? Doesn't happen with paper but it bloody well does with electronics. I guess the bottom line is if it can't be done any other way I'll find a way to live with it. Perhaps print and bind my own copy. I do have some books on book binding.
