I regularly watch Stephen Colbert, and I saw this interview this morning. My impression was that it was somewhat of a gimmick to be controversial and get attention. It'll make the paper-only crowd buy his book to support him. I suspect that Sherman is just basically a book lover who doesn't like the idea of things going digital, but he's expanding on that message and making extreme points for the sake of marketing. He actually seemed to me like a nice guy.
