yes i see and agree what you mean !! I think firstly that any competition which takes down the clear monopoly on publishing from the big say 10 publishing houses is a good thing for all writers and creator,s of words on a page. But having said that i still believe that books, ie paper should be the recognized format of production as a book travels and finds itself in thousands of hands to share its wisdom in its unknown path of existence. E books are far more prone to being guarded on their specific device guide to be then erased by the user for a new book !! Printed books are the very columns of thought of man and need to be protected from this e-book style of erasable memory !! We must never find ourselves in a society that Ray Bradshaw warned of in " Fahrenheit 451 " the temperature at which paper burns !! great post upvoted !!
Later in my fiction book, in a few chapters, I talk about a medium to store information that is less "erasable". The story of the library of Alexandria breaks my heart. We need to protect our history. I also enjoy hard copies of books when they are special, full of rich illustrations, etc.
