At dinner last night Orlando and I had a lengthy conversation about the publishing industry with our new friends Jack and Marie. Marie works for a self-publishing firm and she was very adamant about her dislike of e-readers. Orlando said that in the future some people will have ipods and e-readers and other people will have vinyl records and hard cover first editions.
It is my Dad's birthday today and we are watching the hockey game and sitting in front of the fire.

not liking e-readers, to me, is in line with saying that you'd rather use a pay phone. Or you'd rather have records than iPods. It's just one of those inevitable things about the future.. It's too convenient to be denied. I love books, and I have too many. But having so many books on my kindle, instead of having to carry them with me wherever I go, really is wonderful.
