Let's move on to the issues at hand. By the way, Donn, do I come across as a bit of a crank here? Could be. Just wondering because just today some highfalutin writer at TIME magazine told me I was full of sh*t and a crank to boot, regarding my ideas about pbooks and ebooks, and the never the twain shall meet refrain that some people accuse me of using as a mantra. Which of course is not true: the twain has met, pbooks have met ebooks and all is well. At least that's how I see it.

But is it wrong -- or even threatening? -- to just think about a new word maybe for reading on screens, not in a negative or perjorative way, but just in a different way. And vive la difference, no?
