This morning an agent responded, explaining that they cannot consider representing any new clients at the moment as they are adapting to the ebook market.

I remember when Amazon announced the Kindle. It sounded like a good idea but the device was quite expensive for something you were not sure you even needed.
Everyone was feeling a bit sentimental about books and the gentle musty smell of paper in a well loved title. Now their is a wide range of e-readers.

Electronic media is now affecting the book market and they can no longer ignore it is happening. I remember when mp3's first came out for music. I didn't like it; album art was gone and I was worried my music could be lost if anything happened to my PC.
The change has turned out to be an improvement. Now we have a small little device that has a library of music and we don't have to carry around discs that could get scratched or damaged. The software has improved too. Now itunes have a visual library where you can see the album art. Mobile phones now come with an mp3 player as standard and practically nobody leaves the house without their mobile phone.
The ebook's can only be a positive move for the book market. People get addicted to having a collection. In addition, you will now be able to take your whole bookcase, a whole libaray of books anywhere you want. I wouldn't be suprised if by next year an e-reader will be standard on every new mobile phone.

Kobo is basically an ebook-shop. They have free software that you can download to your smartphone, tablet, ebook reader or PC/Mac.
Kobo software has been designed to feel familliar to book readers as it allows you to turn down corners and book mark pages. For the PC, they directed me to software by Adobe and I downloaded Adobe Digital Additions.
When you purchase an eBook from Kobo, you download it to your PC/Mac in either epub or pdf format. If you are worried about space or loosing it on your PC, you don't need to worry because you can save a copy in your Kobo Library - meaning you have an online back-up.
