I understand perfectly that he may
personally not feel comfortable with the e-book idea. One of my sisters really hated it (which is strange because she is the die-hard technophile of the family). However, I don't think the thought entered her mind that I would become incapable of reading "intelligent" stuff just because I read e-books.
I also noted the comment on the small percentage of people who read hardbacks rather than paperbacks. I have always hated hardbacks, they are ugly and impractical. Does that mean I think that people reading hardbacks are stupid? Strangely enough, no. But I wonder if the journalist thinks that people reading paperbacks is another sign of decadence
