Here's more from the U-M Press blog:
The ongoing challenge is to utilize all the emerging technology without compromising the integrity of published scholarship, said Phil Pochoda, director of U-M Press.
"Freeing the press, in large part, from the constraints imposed by the print-based business model will permit us to more fully explore and exploit ever-expanding digital resources and opportunities," he said. "Scholarly texts will continue to be subjected to rigorous peer review and will still be available in printed versions, primarily on demand."
It will be interesting to see if digital texts catch on elsewhere in academia. Our recent informal survey of students at the University of Washington showed that many students weren't sold on the idea of the Kindle as a textbook replacement.
