Actually, I heard the publishing industry is a dying breed because young folks don't read anymore

I am over 40. I manage a team of analysts and software engineers...average age of probably 30. I am the only one with an ebook reader. The rest are still reading paper (One did try Stanza on his iPod but only because his dinosaur boss told him about it )

That being said, Bob is classy and exceptional.
