Here's a rare article, one predicting a positive future for ebooks. Keep in mind that the source is Wired News, an agency with a demonstrable preference for the format. That said, the author digs up some encouraging statistics from eBookWeb, a web site specializing in ebooks: 500,000 page views per month and improved ebooks sales by a number of vendors, including McGraw-Hill with an increase of 55 percent over this time last year. I would be very hestitant to paint a rosy picture just yet, but this may be the beginning of a shift in the wind. Or perhaps just the beginning of a new marketing campaign. Hard to tell.
