As for Miss Niffeneger, I don't get the animosity toward her. Her opinion is disappointing, but it was politely stated.

Love the 'Murderer' as I do most all of Bradbury's work, and sure I can give him a pass, but its still a disappointment, same with Miss Niffeneger. I suppose I expect writers to be all for reading of any kind, no matter if it's print, an e-ink screen or scrawled on the side of a wall. Her brick and mortar concerns are symptomatic of the industry as a whole; unwilling to move forward or embrace burgeoning culture.
