Epstein on the future of the publishing industry
More from Frankfurt:
So how does Epstein see the future of the publishing industry? “Few activities are more important than managing the content of books. The digital future is going to be a huge opportunity,” says Epstein excitedly, muttering under his breath that he wishes he were young again. “The only filter left is human nature.”
Notice how he talks about content, not format or technology. When the publishing world settles and we all live in a world where print and digital play together nicely, we’ll still have the text. The stories are constant.
