Nothing to be seen here. Citing some random "important people" spelling out emotional advertising like statements, which should just evoke some comfortable picture in our minds.
Another trend seems to be, to sound elitist and intellectual by reffering to aesthetics.
This kind of statements are not a good starting point for a debate. First they do, as if they state a fact, implying that you could not possibly be of a different opinion on this point. Maybe there are other goods things about e-Books, but see, this are the bad things. But what they state are often not facts. Just an opinion.
To be true, this does not sound as a thoughtfull article about e-Books and Paper-Books, but as a anti e-Book advertisement. If someone has a good point, he does not need this kind of manipulative rhetoric. If I read something like that, I'm always a little bit offended. I do not want to be manipulated. And I don't see a starting point of a debate, if I could take every single statement and show how it is not a point at all or how it just is used in a bad way.
