The Story Lives!

A few weeks ago, after returning from two professional conferences on everything to do with publishing, I mused here on the fate of the book.  I wrote that although the book as we've known it does appear to be stepping aside with the advent of new digital formats, our friend the story remains very much alive and well.

And if you look at this recent post from Imagination Soup, it would appear that this observation is right on target.

Even on the go, maybe especially on the go, kids are still reading and interacting with text. Digital media, rather than taking the place of the still much-loved book, are just making it easier for kids to read more often!

The key is to ensure that the content in their hands is the best it can be. 

I'll save that for another post.
