This week's top recommendation
A brilliant article on how books are changing in the digital age, both in how they are written and read. Craig Mod, a designer and book publisher (among other things), gives a detailed analysis of changing structures and argues that digital books unlock the magic of reading as "shared telepathy". Yes, that's right. Reading this thoughtful, inspiring and beautifully designed piece definitely makes you want to read digital books, heaps of them.
