The 32-page issue, PDF but with most essays also available as HTML
separates, includes:
Perspective: Writing about Reading pp. 1-24

    Dipping one toe gingerly into the ebook/ereader waters, here’s the
first of a two-part megaperspective on the nature of books, reading
and writing. (Anticipate the snarkier second part in the May 2011
issue, barring surprises.)

Trends & Quick Takes pp. 24-27

    More predictions, the gap between tools and talent, the cost of
“free,” and seven quicker takes.

The CD-ROM Project pp. 27-30

    Six title CD-ROMs about political and cultural leadership–and,
unfortunately, the message is right in the title: “Sometimes They Just
Don’t Work.”

My Back Pages  pp. 30-32

    Only three of nine snarky little essays have anything to do with
audiophilia–and in one case, that’s stretching things.
