E-books vs. Print Books

We have watched with great interest the rise of e-books and the impact that the future of this technology has on the traditional book market. As with most technological debates, there is hyperbole on both sides. But there is a great article by Sara Nelson in Publisher's Weekly that points out that this doesn't have to be an either/or conversation between e-books and traditional books. When looked at properly, it is probably more an "and" conversation, with e-books filling a role when appropriate, but not supplanting print books entirely. This perspective offers some sanity to a debate that may, as it is currently framed, not even be real.
