The Book is dead, Long Live the e-Book

Will one soon have to go to a museum to see a library like the one pictured above? In all likelihood, according to my friend and Edge International colleague Gerry Riskin, whose recent posting on his blog Amazing Firms Amazing Practices, dealt with the emergence of e-books in the legal profession. There is something elegant and substantial about rows and rows of leather bound tomes, and personally I think it will be sad to see the end of them. (I am a self-confessed bibliophile with a personal library of several thousand volumes myself, so take that from whence it comes.) But the notion of having the entire contents of that library in the palm of one's hand, with a good search tool so the contents are quickly and easily accessible, is truly mindblowing. Wow!
