I am going to play a little devil's advocate here.

Almost 600 years ago, some guy named Gutenberg revolutionized the written word. He is credited with being the catalyst for the Renaissance period by providing a method of spreading ideas very quickly. Instead of a book taking a year to be copied by hand, it could be printed in a few hours.

The books made with the first moveable type printing press lacked pagination, indentations, and paragraph breaks due to limitations in the technology. This obviously was overcome in time with technology and processes to make the newly printed books easier to read.

I consider E-book readers in the same vein as the invention of moveable type. The time it takes to receive an idea via books has dropped another order of magnitude. And just like 600 years ago, it will take a little time for the rest of the processes to catch up to the new technology.

Just be happy to be apart of the beginnings of another Renaissance.
