This guy is not just insulting eBooks, he's insulting books in general.

Quote:
The ebook is a stupid product. It is exactly the same as print, except it’s electronic.
(emphasis mine)

Then in the next section of the interview he rambles on about 3D ...

Quote:
I’m convinced there is something we can invent using our content and digital properties beyond ebooks but I reached the conclusion that we don’t really have the skills and talents in our companies because publishers and editors are accustomed to picking a manuscript and creating a design on a flat page. They don’t really know the full potential of 3-D and digital.
So what's he saying? That book publishers should be movie makers? The interviewer must have gotten him good and drunk before the interview.
