What is the Future of Book Publishing?

The written word has provided people with a medium to tell stories, document events, and supply information to others in one form or another since the beginning of recorded time. Of the various methods of sharing the written word, none is more recognizable than the book. With ebooks on the rise, and publishers looking for new ways to distribute written works, what is the future of book publishing?

In this interview, we talk to podcaster and writer Ewan Spence about where the publishing industry needs to go in order to keep up with the rapid pace of technology.
