But I think that there will still be many uses for publications. To have many articles bound together into a group. A magazine. A book. An album. And I haven't seen this done very well, up to this point. (Several e-zines I've seen just release a PDF, which I resent.) Though perhaps I have not seen it done well because I haven't looked much—I have seen an online-novel-in-process, which gives some vague notion of length via the prominent Table of Contents, but nothing as tangible even as a scrollbar or page numbers all lined up. And certainly not as tangible as a physical depth in my hands.
