Then what is killing books? It isn't magazines. It isn't newspapers. The writer's approach is interesting. Where it fails is in comparing any data on how many people have shifted to short-burst consuming against how many still read longer texts.
- unalone 17y agoThe fact that very few types of writing actually work well in book format? I've written a novel: It takes a lot of work and a lot of effort to make one, and it's very hard to write one without padding it. Most things novels deal with can be dealt with better in movie/short story/blog format. Just because we as a society don't appreciate how niche books are doesn't mean books aren't niche.
