So, the Book Fair is over...
Personally, I was disappointed by China's, the Guest of Honour's, presentation in the Forum. Printing... I can't even count how many Guests of Honour have presented that. And going on into digital reading is laudable, but neglecting to mention the internet and the host of Chinese authors that are forced to publish exclusively on the net... well.
Another thing I had a special interest in were ebook readers, and while there are a handful of products now, there are only two who can mark text/search text and only one of these can copy and paste. And that one is not compatible with the ebook reading software I'm using on my laptop and thus all ebooks I have bought... (and at 299€ really out of reach).
but in general...
BOOKS! SQUEE!!!
