2013 will be the year the ebook evolution goes global. Many countries, for the first time, will have the opportunity to get ebooks galore, or more accurately, be able to choose between ebooks and print books, to purchase one or the other, or both. Download for free "The Global eBook Market: Current Conditions and Future Projections" from O'Reilly and read for yourself. Here's the link:http://search.oreilly.com/?q=the+global+ebook+market%3A+current+conditions+%26+future+projections The UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Austria, Slovenia, Poland, Russia, Brazil, and China: all will experience the phenomenon. I love the ebook evolution because it makes the physical more virtual and the virtual more physical. My belief is that in every ebook file there should be a "Print Now" button so that people can buy and read the ebook first, and if they wish a unique keepsake, purchase the physical incarnation immediately and seamlessly. The "Print Now" button will link to an ordering page (URL) and the "ebook" can be designed (to a limited degree) by the reader; purchased; printed and delivered to his or her physical address.
