   I agree about wanting a digital version as a companion for a book – not least so I can relocate helpful content without filling the hardcopy with sticky bits of paper. Although I’m still a print person when it comes to reading, I’m finding book shops less and less inspiring compared to recommendations from blogs, electronic sample chapters and links for both new and older titles. Book shops need to be more interactive – why can’t I use terminals instore to find books and other information? Why aren’t there real bookie people available for discussion and to make interesting recommendations? Let’s have fewer racks of boring “best seller” books and more Long Tail variety available “in the back”. Shops need to encourage us to relax and be seduced into a good read, help us quicky find what we want or surprise us with a quirky recommendation. I feel I get that so much better online – which is a great disappointment when I have a magnetic urge to enter a bookstore.

   I love the idea. We are truly in an age of collaboration. The Internet has changed everything, including how we write and read books and gather information. Looking forward to the collaborative book.
