Books are dead. Long live books!

My friend Tommy predicts that children born now will grow up with the same attitude towards printed paper books that I, having been born in the 80s, have towards vinyl records.

This prediction invariably causes our bibliophile friends to clutch their dead trees close to their chest, screaming “no, that could never happen,” and retreat into the stacks of books. As though the digital book revolution might bring with it some sort of mass burning. But friends (Romans, countrymen), I’ve had my e-book reader for just over four months now. I have seen the future and I welcome our new e-paper overlords with open arms.

Jenny, an e-book lover
