Publishers will have to get use to the fact that electronic publishing is here to stay and remain, and unless they jump on board soon, they will miss out on something big. Publishing electronically is the future, and although it remains slow now, it will eventually grow and become how most reading materials are made and distributed. This of course is far into the future, but the current economy seems to be the electronic publishing industry's best friend at the moment. The expense of publishing in an electronic medium is more cost effective, and thus all that needs to be done is more cost effective and better e-reading tools to be created.
