The editorial has some nice insights about the publishing industry. He's clearly in the "I can't read on an LCD screen" camp, so his reader comments sort of shut out people who can read e-books fine without e-ink.

But his observations about consumers willingly paying for content they can get for free is important: Paying consumers are the only way to keep the industry afloat, barring the possibility of authors (or publishers) switching to a government- or advertiser-supported model (like television).
