Just got back from a whistlestop trip to Radio 4 where the 12:30 debate on You & Yours was around the eBook. I met fellow panellists Joel Rickett from The Bookseller and Jeremy Essinghausen from Penguin. Both were super knowledgeable on the issue, and so I was keen to hear what they thought about my conclusion that unless the eBook gets sexy and unless the content can be shared, edited and copied, then it is going to have the worst traits of the print and the digital media, not the best. You can hear me in the show's listen again feature and read more about Joel and Jeremy on their blogs.
