Potential e-book competitor?


The next big thing in publishing might not be an electronic book reader but a newly invented, print format book called a 'flipback book'. It is due for release in the UK this summer.

The flipback book was introduced into Holland in 2009 and has sold 1 million copies since its release. It is a pocket-sized book that is printed on wafer-thin paper and it has a distinctive spine which allows it to lie open on a table without any support.

How funny if the death of the e-book was brought upon by a printed book!
