My Thoughts On The New, Steam-Powered, Horseless, Electronic Book!

If you’re interested in my thoughts on the future of the electronic book, I’m quoted in today’s Irish Times, towards the end of this piece by the mighty Conor Pope. (And how quaint “electronic book” will seem in a few years! It’ll read like “horseless carriage” does now…)

Sample quote from me:

"I can't see how you can control the distribution of words. Good writers could end up with huge readership but they will probably have to find new ways of earning a living from it, which is fine. Good writers were never likely to make much money. Yeats never made more than £200 a year from his writing until he won the Nobel Prize."
