I believe that change doesn't care about consequences. But I do not believe that the publishing industry should die out of a resistance to change, nor do I believe the beauty of the bookstore being reason enough for it to resist change. Thanks, Daniel.

Here I am fining and reading it months later. There are many interesting ideas. I agree with it but not to the same extreme. The ideas center around flexibility, conveniences, and accommodations. These are needed. But we must not forget about human nature. Not the resistance to change but the possession that which we hold dear. The industrial revolution took away the need for the sun to rise. That made the sunrise that much more beautiful to us. Awesome article. Here I am fining and reading it months later. There are many interesting ideas. I agree with it but not to the same extreme.

Glad you do. @Mack: I’m sure there will be a bunch of people who will rage against change (part of me does) – but you see, I believe books have no choice but to change, if they are to survive the Internet age.

I don't think a Kindle can ever replace the smell of the printed page, or the smoothness of a beautifully designed cover. But I like reading my books the way they are, thank you very much.
