title: Electronic books: reports of their death have been exaggerated
abstract: E-books will survive, but not in the consumer market - at least not until reading devices become much cheaper and much better in quality (which is not likely to happen soon). Library Journal's review of major events of the year 2001 noted that two requirements for the success of E-books were development of a sustainable business model and development of better reading devices. The E-book revolution has therefore become more of an evolution. We can look forward to further developments and advances in the future
