About the Author
I have yet to see a proprietary e-reader that comes anywhere close to ink on paper in terms of ‘functionality”. With a paper book I can read it, then sell it or give it away or lend it to whoever I choose.
Until I can do that with an e-book, I won’t be touching the things. They are a huge step backward for content users.
