I’m a writer and I have to compete in a crazier world where change is the normal, as compared to the pre-digital age that Nick Hornsby would have started out in.
I think the people who 'love' his books won't read eBooks, because they'd see it as a bit of a shock of the new, but gladly absorb hours of mindless TV, and film versions of Nick Hornsby's books.
I've never read his books, so I can't comment on his writing. His view in general is typical of the established publishing industry, much like that of the music industry pre-download, ie, "It won't happen, it won't affect us, it won't work."
The best thing about the eBook Crowd is that we read beyond the curve - beyond the mainstream, way beyond the trend, and create tomorrow’s trends. Who cares what somebody who can’t ‘get it’ has to say, just because they’re ‘established’ in the old world of publishing, and, er, reading.
