Months ago, I attended an entrepreneurship talk at which the speaker argued that the textbook and journalism industries would die as the scarcity of these media ended.<p>One week ago, I attended a talk by an editor at one of the major US publishers. He said they'd been searching for a way to modernize but didn't have a response to my mention of the previous event.<p>Looks like the type of problem with plenty of money for new models, much like the music industry today.
