So his rationale for being anti-ebook is primarily big brother paranoia? Doesn't this guy use the Internet?
And wait, he trotted out innacurate facts about piracy too, who is this guy, what a complete moron!!
Fact is big media makes MORE money from movies, TV shows, mp3s than ever before. The box office is bigger than ever before. There are all kinds of new ways to monetise media, itunes sells a lot of TV shows which may have previously been recorded on a video or simply not consumed past the inital airing.
So instead of highlighting the millions of NEW readers who will take up reading again because it's suddenly far more convenient than lugging around hardcovers, instead of highlighting the benefits for independent publishers and authors, he trots out paranoid jibberish and pretends to stick up for 'small town bookstores'.
Truth is we've lost most of the small town bookstores to walmart already, he didn't whinge about that because his books sell in walmart. This guy is a clown.
