I also wouldn’t be surprised to see ads in the middle of new novels when advertisers can have interactive, color “inserts.” Maybe the books will get even less expensive when publishers can sell ads, putting even more pressure on independent book stores.

Those of us who mainly read novels aren’t too fussed about it but I’m thinking of teens and others who enjoy comic books, ahem, sorry, ‘graphic novels’ and color could also resurrect the declining magazine market. Great for newspapers too! I know that we can go to the web for all the news we need but there’s always going to be a market for the newspaper ‘experience’.

Ebook readers will need to speed up a bit though to help replicate that flipping through the pages experience we tend to do with magazines and newspapers.

I’m quite excited!
