A new site devoted to deep ponderings about ebooks and their imminent downfall by those that should know.
Quote:
There has been a tsunami of stories in the news lately about how the ebook revolution has begun to slow down.
To that I say - Well, duh!
I mean, let's face it, fads are great, the novelty, the freshness of a new thing does have its charm. However, after a while the new becomes old and the thrill of trying something new dies.
And so it will be with the ereader.
Ereaders!
Really?
You want me to buy an extraneous device just so I can read a book?
A book?
Books are some of the simplest, and yet, most elegant of man's creations.
Not only that, but with mild care the book can last centuries and enrich future generations. Does anyone really think that an ereader will last a decade much less centuries?

Everyone thinks they have a novel in them, and these days, it seems like everybody wants to get the damn thing out.
Since the beginning of the fad known as Self-Publishing, innumerable talentless hacks have debased the world of literature by cramming their vacuous attempts at fiction onto a defenseless reading public.
