Well, really, who is going to complain given the
current shortage of Kindle readers? But if do you care, Andrew Norman Wilson
explained today in a short column in the Daily Telegraph why nothing is going to replace the good old dusty, crumbling, smelly paper book any time soon.

Alone with my book, I am impregnable. It beats any drug, and it is so cheap. Eyes do the scrolling, and you do not need to recharge their batteries. As for reading a newspaper on a Kindle - how do you scribble telephone numbers on it, or half-finish the crossword?

Mr. Wilson turns out to be one of the more visible literary figures in Britain. Do your kids use the Internet? Watch out. You may have just turned them into
thieving mind-numbed sex-addicted little monsters. Paper children books to the rescue.
Thanks to eagle-eyed Jorgen for the tip!
