Ebooks are being talked about all over. How about this article from the Hindustani Times:
A publishing throwdown is set to unfold during the holiday months as e-books go up against old-fashioned hard copies during one of the busiest cookbook-selling seasons of the year.
According to Gourmand-Magazine, more than one-third of yearly cookbook sales takes place in November and December in time for the holiday gift-giving season. With the rising popularity of e-books like Amazon’s Kindle and tablets like the iPad, pundits, publishers and foodie readers alike have all but declared the print form dead, proclaiming that the future of cookbooks belongs to the digital format.
In recent months, for instance, publishers released an e-book version of Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking, a 752-page tome. Chef Grant Achatz chose to publish his Paris 1906 menu — comprised of recipes from his pop-up concept restaurant Next — as an e-book for the iPad which was released this week.
Excellent article on ebooks versus the old hard copies. Me and my girlfriend prefer the hard copy cookbooks and other hard copy books for the house. She is really into her phone and prefers to have ebooks on her phone to take when we travel. Thank you for the information.
