Evolution of media on the Internet

[Joseph Esposito <espositoj@gmail.com>]

While we continue to discuss such matters as access to materials, 
the role of libraries, the cost structure of publishing, etc., I 
thought it might be useful to point to a more or less 
representative blog post on new media strategy as it involves in 
the consumer market.  Why is the consumer market important for 
scholarly communications?  Because the devices used for reading 
are being created for the consumer market, where the number of 
users is large enough to drive scale. This was my first taste of 
this particular blogger and I don't know anything about his 
affiliation.  This post touches on renting books and ponders the 
place of libraries.
