Michael Bhaskar over at The Digitalist has this level-headed post on the reasons why e-based reading is here to stay and why even bibliophiles don’t need to freak-out about it:
No one is saying that we will all run off any read all our books off a screen. Books are here to stay. Reading from one type of screen or another is not about to replace books, rather it is an addition to the varied climate to literature that already exists, a creative challenge, a commercial opportunity and new way for readers to enjoy texts.
