“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore. Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.”
That's Steve Jobs on e-books. The percentage he states probably has grown since he said that.
(And no, the iPad is NOT an e-book reader. It's a computer.)
And I absolutely agree. Print or electronic, long-form writing is simply not popular with younger generations. Unless you're retarded and count the Twilight books.
So thank god for the Baby Boomer generation. Hopefully publishers and distributors like Amazon will sort things out before that generation is dead.
