On May 19, Amazon announced an important milestone that many of us have been expecting: Sales of Kindle eBooks have surpassed both paperback and hardback books combined.

After spending the last few years attending cocktail parties where the only point of view on the traditional publishing industry was that it is dying, I was captivated by the content and discussion last week at the Media Technology Summit, hosted by Landmark Ventures.

I heard the most refreshing statement of the last decade: “We have all been given a gift, and this is the global age of publishing.” What a truly inspirational statement made by one of the top C level executives in the publishing sector! And with Amazon’s news, we can safely say that the publishing industry has gone “digital”…so now what?
