Please enjoy my original Podcast episode “Ebooks: The Epic Story of the Impending Conquest of the Print Book”. All references to the sources used for this Podcast can be found on this page. My apologies, but I realized after completing and editing the entire recording that the end of a sentence got snipped. This sentence at approx. 9:20 should say, “Initially, libraries would even rent ebook readers out, whereas now individuals can borrow ebooks through their library using their own device from the comfort of their own home“.
