But it's not totalitarianism when it's about SACRED BOOKS! Which are, of course, sacred regardless of your cultural heritage, because any cultures that don't revere the printed word are doing it wrong. (We will not discuss what "it" is. We're talking books here; don't confuse the issue with your Hi-Tech factoids.)

Because *everyone* benefits from reading on printed pages! Battery-powered text is inherently soul-sucking and meaningless. Children especially, but also adults, don't need a "choice" to read from screens that hold variable content; such devices are inherently incapable of giving a *real* book experience, which is the foundation of our society!

(We all have one society! Anyone who says otherwise is trying to make us all fit in the machine!)
