I heard it on my way to work this morning. I thought it was a bunch of baloney. Although I don't have a dedicated ereader, I have read ebooks on many different electronic devices since they were first introduced and I read the same way I always have.
"They scroll and scroll and scroll. You don't have this business of handling pages and turning them and savoring them."
Statements such as these are from the old school mindset that paper somehow is the holy grail of reading. If the content is worth savoring I can dwell on it just as well in electronic format.
Writing for blogs and the web doesn't compare to writing a novel either. Not every reader is trying to multitask and needs to be titillated within the first paragraph.
