But seriously, the author of this article sounds like a luddite. While some individuals may prefer one form of writing over another, there is nothing intrinsically special in a certain kind of input devices. He talks about people being distracted in their writing, but some people benefit form the stream of consciousness, others disconnect their internet while writing, and other people still get so involved in writing that they do nothing else for a good while. There is no reason why e-book authors would be shielded from readers and criticism; comment sections and reviews offer plenty of those.
