It's... it's... happened?

Yep, print is dead: ironically available in hardcover.

More obituaries -

Rev2.org:

Thousands of individuals rarely pick up books anymore, trading the heavy, physical medium for something accessible everywhere and any time: the Internet. Those without experience on the Internet will protest the day when readers banish books to a dark corner of their rooms, but I, for one, will applaud that day, for it will herald the arrival of a new era; one where people both contribute their literary works and read the works of others with a higher frequency than ever before.


Writer...Interrupted:

I really believe that most writers just want an audience. (We want to pay the bills, too, but we already have day jobs for that.)
