“E-books are now more popular than printed books, and I wanted Milk and Oranges to be contemporary with the times,” Wexler said. “Milk and Oranges never will go ‘out of print,’ people are able to take it anywhere on their e-reader, and e-book websites can translate it into different languages. Plus, an e-book is less expensive for the purchaser and is better for the environment.”
