I've been following David Wilks' 'Publishing Talks' podcasts for some 
years now, and every so often he comes up with something really 
interesting. This one is an interview with Peter Costanzo, currently 
working for the Associated Press, but formerly associated with digital 
publishing ventures for NBC and various others; and it's full of 
perceptive remarks about why ebooks haven't supplanted print books, why 
'enhanced' ebooks (new media literature) have failed to take off 
commercially, how the publishing industry has managed to protect the 
status quo in the face of digital change more effectively than the 
record industry, and just the mechanics of the modern publishing 
marketplace in general - the dominance of Amazon, the failure of both 
Apple and Google to challenge that dominance, the dominance of the 
Kindle as the main reading device, etc. Well worth a listen if you've 
got 45 minutes to spare.
