Did you notice the little girl reading the kindle on amazon? What I wonder about is what happens when you grow up with only limited exposure to codices. Is a book still a book?
- lpolovets 15y agoTo play devil's advocate, should the format matter? It seems like the content is the most important thing. People say, "don't just a book by its cover." Shouldn't that apply to a book's format as well?
- estevez 15y agoMy reaction to your question might be telling: 1. I dimly remember that The Shallows had something thoughtful to say about the topic; 2. I pull out my kindle and search the full text of 443 books for "carr kindle"; 3. I wait 3 seconds; 4. I re-read Carr's take and mull it over. Perhaps not fundamentally different from looking it up in the index, but it certainly feels so.
