In an article about the NY Book Expo, the NYT reports booksellers and publishers are worried about the future of the printed book in light of the popularity of e-Book readers such as the Kindle.
Now, I love my Kindle. Since getting it, I'm reading more than I ever did before. But have I stopped buying print-and-paper books? No! Since Kindle entered my life, I have bought the following:
- Three books about childbirth practices, from used booksellers
- Two anthologies of American Splendor
- A copy of Taking Care of Our Own, by Susan Garrett
- Several books about information marketing
And I have plans to purchase other books. What the worriers forget is that reading begets reading. The more we read, the more we read in all formats.
