Some books are so ephemeral I will read it and then pass it on or just donate it. I see no problem with saving paper for some of these books, and the fact that I do pass them on reduces the income for a writer who probably spent a long time writing it (or possibly not).Ebooks helps increase the return for such authors.

Also, physical printing costs for books is very high – content has to be lowered and LCD’ed if you want to sell a lot, ebooks allows for more niche subjects, or a lower rrp to actually have the resource that is contained in a book. I do agree that a book containing video does not to make it a better book. It does make it something different to a book, a traditional book that is. There is nothing that, as yet, can really replace the joy of a new book holding it and reading it’s fresh goodness. But for the imparting of knowledge to more people at a lower cost I see no problem with that and welcome it.

I am an ad person. I write and draw ads and show them to my mum.

I try to manipulate my mother into buying me things by making ads for her.

I watch Madmen and learned everything I know from Donald Draper.

I have a folio of the ads I’ve made for my mother to try and get her to buy things for me – my folio is here:

I’m a junior copywriter from Melbourne Australia and was wondering if you’d like to mention it?
