Re: Is this the future of aviation book publishing?
I am not a big submarine fan but I was impressed by the I-400 (aircraft carrying submarine) book. The introduction by one of the Japanese pilots was very interesting. All I can say is that it was well done for the average reader who is relatively interested in submarines.
The future of publishing in general is simply about what people will buy. New technology is fine, but even if an inexpensive electronic book reader was developed, I would still have to pay for the basic unit, buy the individual books and would need a source of power or batteries. I would not want to drop it or get it wet. An inexpensive paperback needs no power source, can be dropped without breaking and is much easier on the eyes than a computer screen and, for now, more portable and convenient.
