Digital distribution made it practical to buy individual songs rather than entire records. It's interesting that the publishing industry hasn't adopted a similar model.
I often don't want to read a book. I want a pamphlet or a blog post that gets the idea across succinctly, but with the *option* of following the writer's work, should they continue to explore the topic in a series.
Books are already made of chapters. Could it be a good idea to treat chapters like pamphlets?
@colby depends on the book. In a lot of books chapters are very tightly connected and flow one from another. Separating them, reading them without the context of the rest, just doesn't make much sense.
Reminds me of this scene from The Simpsons:
