There's just something that pains me about seeing the word "literature" just below a photograph of a hand held computer/screen.
"It tells us that printed books, the most important artifacts of human civilization, are going to join newspapers and magazines on the road to obsolescence."
Please no. Call me a Luddite if you must. But I refuse to give up my dusty shelves overflowing with books.

Don't worry, H, books have existed for millennia, and they'll certainly exist for the rest of our lifetimes. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're not a Luddite, but some people are extreme tech geeks. I've never used a Kindle, but they seem like the best "book reader" design I've seen. Publishers have been trying to make electronic books replace paper for almost a decade now, but e-books are just another format; they'll never replace paper.
Now this tech story is totally cool, I think.
