Abstract

Physical shape is very relevant for understanding the position of the printed book in this digital age. Compared to the greyish rectangle of most digital devices it offers a wealth of shapes, sizes and materials, and it actually offers something for everyone. It is this aspect that contributes to the resiliency of the printed book in a time in which many have predicted its end.
