Come on, that was an "old" (January 2010) article and had very little to do with how things are "today".
I think the development since then shows the person who wrote it seriously wrong and really not worth commenting on.
This person seems to be aware of Amazon and really not much else. Libaries? Maybe they weren't that big in the US back then, what do I know? The world outside US? Is there such a thing?
