I saw this on TechCrunch and it made me think. It's basically a timeline that lays out the death of the printed book. For sake of argument, suppose this happened just as described. That's a lot of jobs that would be gone. Would someone complain? Should someone ask for a tax against eBooks. I mean c'mon, we have to level the playing field. We want competition, but we want fair competition (whatever that means).
Here's an opportunity to fight for America. Save our publishing jobs!
Or you might consider all the cool new jobs that will be available in America, including those potential authors that will have a much lower bar of entry.
