Vinyl has a lot going for it when compared to MP3, but the latter format is so more practical and has such a low marginal cost that very few people stick with the former. Don't get me wrong, I love physical books, but I imagine what it would be like if I had been able to read any book in the world in a device like the Kindle when I was a kid, and the idea is just mind-boggling.
I live in Brazil, where books are relatively expensive and libraries aren't that great, so I understand that YMMV.
- aristus 17y agoIdle question: when a friend visits from South America, he takes back a case or two of books. I suggested burning a few copies of the Project Gutenberg DVDs. He pointed out that the Spanish and Portuguese content was pretty small. For instance, there is not even a copy of El Correo Orinoco. Can you think of a way to get more people to contribute to PG in other languages?
