Mentioning the "alligator skin" texture didn't ring any bells for her. She didn't know that there was actually a brand-name version of a lunch- or quart-sized plastic called "Baggies". *I was talking to a 25-year-old co-worker the other day about "baggies". Touchscreens don't work very well through plastic. I mostly agree, but I would say that putting my reader in a plastic bag* worked better when most readers had buttons. It's not their fault that the data is frequently misinterpreted. The AAP is pretty clear about the limits of their stats. I have no use for waterproofing but if an ereader could be bought with or without it and waterproofing only raised the price a little I'd probably get it just to feel good about it. The vast majority of readers will have no use whatever for waterproofing. Reading in the tub is perfectly safe if you put your ereader in a baggy or in a waterproof case. People reading out and about mostly use phones. Most people read at home most of the time.
But at least for fiction they'll probably become the main way to buy books.Ī waterproof Kindle kind of makes sense for a few people but for most people waterproofing has no real value. I don't know that paper books will ever go away. Over time my guess is that ebooks will continue to do better, as they are now. It's called "marketing".Įbooks didn't do away with paper books overnight and that's partly because of agency pricing and partly due to marketing and partly because a lot of people just like paper books. He didn't make a single untrue statement but he told a lie. Later that day he sold the car to an unsuspecting couple explaining that the car had been driven by an elderly lady only to the grocery store. He called his grandmother and asked her to come by the lot and drive it to the grocery store, which she did. There's the old story about the used car guy who took in a nice clean looking piece of junk that needed a lot of work but looked good. Most people reading that statement won't realize that it doesn't really mean much. The AAP is, of course, aware of that but they're using their true statement to tell a lie namely that ebooks aren't doing so well. In addition self published books on Amazon and others are also not included. The AAP only includes stats from the 1200 publishers that submit sales figures to them.
