Yeah, I'm a Kindle convert and don't read books on paper much these days... And Amazon makes it ultra efficient for me to purchase, download, and read books that way. Sorry small independent booksellers, but your time has come: you're selling vinyl LPs in the age of iTunes.
- TBInman 13y agoYes, and it's undeniably nice to be able to buy books and CDs at what are effectively wholesale prices. I'm less convinced that kindle and e-ink e-readers in general are the future. Trends suggest that more and more people are reading on tablet, as opposed to specialist reading devices, the usage of which has plateaued. And I would definitely worry about what will happen to books should the day come when they are primarily read on a platform on which they must compete with other, noisier content (I'm looking at you, Angry Birds).
