It's gonna be recycled a lot more, because over the last year, ebook devices got big, and there's a whole bunch of people now interested who've got no awareness of the last ten years of discussion of these issues.
And we'll be seeing a number of comparisons to the music industry, and much analysis of how that does & doesn't work, and a whooooole bunch of "Piracy ho! Sail the digital seas! The East India Trading Company Time-Warner conglomerate can't tell me what to enjoy!", followed by authors declaring that anyone who has a digital copy of their work without paying full price for it is a dirty, malicious thief who should have their modem removed by force, which will get in the way of discussion that might lead to useful options.
I don't mind the repetitive headbashing discussions; I have some hopes that new digital solutions will pop out of the screaming matches somewhere, because sometimes it works like that.
