Here’s an interesting one; Mills and Boon (obviously a favourite imprint of mine) are launching a series of books for your mobile. I don’t ever think the book will die but I do think E-books will be big news over the next few years. (Courtesy of Katie Ledger)
Also there was a great article by Nick Cohen in the Observer on Sunday about Blooks (a merger of "blog" and "book". He’s a judge on the 2007 Lulu Blooker awards and gives a pretty good run down as to where things are.
Lulu’s worth checking out if you’re into writing. It allows anyone to upload a book - if someone buys it they’ll print it out, send it and pass on a percentage of the profit to the writer.

Lulu is well worth investigating for all manner of applications where you want something bound and presented professionally, especially with unit costs at less than a fiver a book. (I have no connection with Lulu, btw)
