How the iPad Impacts Print —Sherburne

These lightweight devices make it easy to view content anywhere you happen to be, without squinting at a small screen. It allows people to be mobile, yet connected, to just about any information or entertainment source. It is really designed more for content consumption than for content creation.

Hmmm….Puts me in mind of paper and printed materials, although you can create content on an iPad just as you can create content on paper with pen and ink. Nonetheless, just how long it will take for the iPad, and its cousins from other suppliers, to make a dent in already lagging print volumes remains to be seen. But there is no question in my mind that there will be an effect.
