Just in case you’d forgotten, physical books are dead. And this just after Amazon sold out of the new Kindle in five days. Those new Kindles are cheaper and leaner and more efficient, which you knew had to happen because of the popularity of the iPad as an e-reader. And the technology is evolving fast enough that some companies, like Plastic Logic, are canceling upcoming products and moving forward with newer feature sets. Perhaps these newer devices will be helpful to fans of romance novels printed by places like Dorchester Publishing, which is going all-digital.

Sigh.
