I don't buy it. A book is a book, whether it's read on paper or on a computer screen or on an ebook reader. I don't think I read ebooks any differently than I read paper books. And I highly doubt the Twitter novel is going to replace the traditional novel anytime soon. Twitter novels and cell phone novels just add new methods of storytelling, and how is that a bad thing? There's room for plenty of types of stories out there; novels, graphic novels, TV, movies, video games, stage plays, and so on all coexist relatively peacefully.
