The old myth just won’t die. You can read e-books in the bath, contrary to the impression that Sara Nelson, editor of Publishers Weekly, gave. We replicated the E part of the "ultimate e-book experiment" of Chris Steib, shown in the photo.
More importantly, Sara may want to re-examine the math behind her e-book forecast. Check out our July 4 post if you haven’t already.
