Not that Katsunami is a particular offender, but allow me to use that as the as the last straw:

Oh please, can we get past that elitist nonsense. Amazon became a billion dollar megaforce by SELLING BOOKS TO THE MASS MARKET.
B&N opened huge superstores all over the country by SELLING BOOKS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
People read, guys. Lots and lots of people read.
Find something else to act smugly superior about.
Spending MOST of your free time reading is not inherently superior to those who read more occasionally and also do other things in their off hours, like fight fires, drive race cars, build houses with Jimmy Carter, listen to music, serve in the National Guard, ski, or go out on dates.
