Re: [ARSCLIST] Preservation media WAS: Cataloguing still :-)

Right, but I'm not saying make the printed book available. I'm saying make large/higher-rez versions 
of the photos in a biography, for instance, available. Or, for a reported/journalistic book, perhaps 
make transcripts of some or all interviews available, both for history and in the interest of 
transparency. Many authors do some of this already on their own websites but it can take some 
digging to find the material.

I'd think that part of the slowness is fear that it will cut into sales
of their physical products, like who will buy it if they can download
it... Record companies are dealing with this in their own ways too.
