“Publishers are locked in to a mind-set of 'this is how we do books,' but the Web doesn't have any physical limitations. This is a much more fluid medium, and there is an opportunity here to surface different kinds of creativity. Poets could sell individual poems to an audience that cares about that kind of thing.”
“Publishers risk losing the younger audience to other forms of media. They need to condition their audience to look forward to an author's next book and to read reviews. They ought to be training the next generation of consumers, and digital books can help with that.”
