much the same with digital books

How the same? Claiming it doesn't make it so. And books cost more than 99 cents; ten dollars is not, in Graham's terms, an ignorable event.

But though I can't predict specific winners, I can offer a recipe for recognizing them. When you see something that's taking advantage of new technology to give people something they want that they couldn't have before, you're probably looking at a winner. And when you see something that's merely reacting to new technology in an attempt to preserve some existing source of revenue, you're probably looking at a loser.

Thanks for posting this, Arnie. I've been watching the rise of the Kindle for a while. It popped up at various publishing conferences a few years back. As a reader, it does have some appealing qualities. But, the product is too expensive to go mainstream just yet, in my view. I'd be nervous to schlep a $400 device on international trips with multiple time zones/hotel stays. It's okay if I accidentally leave a paperback behind in a plane or forget it in my hotel room, but you'd have to be careful with a Kindle--it sort of changes my perception of reading materials when I'm traveling.

Bridges Of Virtue: Indie Publishers As The Golden Mean | Digital Book World - 2 views
-
You may note my repeated emphasis on the small size of Independent Publishers, and how this can give them the advantage, in some instances, against Big Publishers. The reason for this is that small entities are generally more adaptable than larger ones, and during this period of transition to the New World – where we know the landscape is changing, but not what it is changing into – publishers need to be adaptable in order to survive; in order to thrive, they need to be willing to experiment. Many of the experiments they take when they test the waters will result in failure, but as Independent Publishers have less to lose and more to gain, they will be that much more innovative.

Small indie publishers are likely to be the source of innovation for publishing.
