Highlight of the article:

Quote:
The new digital cornucopia is wonderful, according to Darren Wershler, professor of communications at Ontario's Wilfrid Laurier University. “But I'm profoundly distrustful of anybody who comes along and offers to consolidate all that for me,” he added. “I don't want them making choices about what I'm reading, where I can get it, what format it's in, which machines I can look at it on. All of those things are a real problem, and nobody ever talks about them.”
The article then goes on to completely ignore all of those questions, proving Prof. Wershler correct (at least on that; I disagree with him on the aesthetic questions, but that's entirely a matter of personal taste.)
