In an English department e-books are, to say the least, a fraught subject. The debate could simplistically (and probably misleadingly) be reduced to that of body - the format of a book (hardback, paperback, e-book) vs soul (content). With the proliferation of the e-reader - Kindle, Nook, Sony's Reader and, of course, the Ipad/Ipod apps that allow readers to use multiple platforms - the e-book is rapidly gaining ground on traditional publishing, bringing the debate into sharp focus.
So, does this Ted presentation demonstrate the possibilities of this new publishing platform, or highlight the problems of a medium that is more flash than substance?
