Will iPad Readers Buy Books?

Will iPad Readers Buy Books?

What follows is a completely *unscientific* survey of two people—one of whom does not even have an iPad. The margin of error for this survey is so huge that if my iPad came with a calculator (as my iPod Touch did), I’m pretty sure the machine would blow its little silicon brains out doing the […]

A New Look, Readings and RFL
