Permanent record...

I watched a brief item this morning on the electronic book market in France. It is now less than 1%. Will it grow to talke over print? That's the debate of the momentl There are those who assume it will happen and those who say that people will never give up the desire for the "feel" of the printed book.

For newspapers, I wonder where they fit? First rough drafts of history to be discarded and replaced by a book. A website?

I think we need to rethink the whole order of our information and where we want it to be. Is paper more permanent than an electronic record?

How could nrwspapers make more of this?

Could they talk about how accurate yesterday's newspaepr was compared to yesterday's rants and blog posts?

Is there a way to combine the pernanence of the book with the paper of the newspaper and make it just more important than even its own self on the web?
