btw, I edited, as a thought exercise only, Kaufman's piece to take out all the strange Holocaust themes, which make no sense there, and just belittle his piece, and now it reads like this:

The piece still reads like an insane attack on E-books and E-reading, and a crazy defense of paper bookstores and paper books, it still makes very little sense, but at least now it does have the ugly crapola he put in their the first time. read it a second time now. It is still a hill of beans, but more accessible now, even though most of us disagree with it.
