Thing 20: Book 2.0

I think the "book" is going through various transformations. Whether we read from paper or a digital device we are still reading what someone chose to share by writing. The offerings today are available in almost every format imaginable.
There is however the matter of cost. Libraries provide digital media for checkout. This includes "E-books and DABs. These are pretty much maintanance-free when compared to printed materials. Other digital information services are also readily available at your library. So, while these other formats are in place, the prices of these items (Kindle, I-phones,etc.) will keep some of us going to the library.
