The tablet PC's, iPad, iPod, iPhone and the all other smart phones and the e-readers will provide alternative and more convenient means for reading. This may change the concept of the book. Amazon Kindle and the like e-readers products can connect to the internet and publish directly the contents. You don't need on your shelves the tens of books of Britanica or the American encyclopedia. You can connect directly to Wikipedia and the other knowledge repository on the world wide web.
I'm predicting as well that the book and novel writing will change totally because the authors will not need to wait till they finish the whole nook. the time between the writing and the publishing of it till conveying it to the reader will almost instantaneous. Authors can publish chapter by chapter or even each new paragraph.
The communication and the interaction between the readers and the authors will be totally open. Readers can provide direction review and suggestions, to the authors to enrich the content and they can even contribute in part of it.
It is very similar to current comments on the news websites where it is very valuable feature in the news website where the readers contributions are enriching and increasing the value of the published contents. Writers could know what is the reaction of the readers and the news website can get valuable information about the readers directions.
The flexible and remote access to the blogs will open amazing window for the readers to read thousands if not millions of the available blogs and blogs reading will be boosted up and the value of them and the commercial return in addition to new generations and new category of authors will emerge. Writing styles and languages will be developed very quickly.
The current fashion of writing and journalism and publishing industry will be history.
