I am both a medieval nerd and a neophile. So I will be following with interest the links between the fourteenth century and new forms of electronic publishing in 2010, not least because Summer of Blood is now available to buy on Amazon Kindle.
Many of my fellow writers are suspicious of e-Books and e-readers, worrying that they will displace the printed book entirely, to the ruin of authors, detriment of humanity etc. I have mixed feelings, erring ever-more towards being very excited by the possibilities of e-publishing, once a really good portable device hits the market. (Probably this will be the iSlate/iPad/iWhatever.)
This thought came to me as I was reading John Naughton’s excellent piece on Kindlemania in today’s MediaGuardian.
