The Future of the Book (from IDEO)

In light of James Billington's recent paraphrase of a Paul Saffo observation...

Certainly the book business is in a transitional state like all print media. But books are not going away. New technologies tend to supplement rather than supplant older ones. Television did not destroy radio; the VCR and DVD players did not keep people from movie theaters.

...I'd hesitate to assert that this fascinating video describes THE future of the book, i.e., a future where all other reading formats are discarded.
