Description: A thoughtful look at the e-book movement, concluding "Can anyone really be against that?" Free registration required. [NY Times]
(June 04, 2000)
Literature's next big revolution will be digitized. What's so scary about that? Photograph by Anne Katrine Senstad Printing did not meet with general welcome. . . . The neglect of literary men to note the "Bible of 42 lines" and the "Catholicon" of Gutenberg, the delayed establishment of a printing office at Paris, the indifference shown to printing in the great book-making town of Bruges and the insufficient patronage bestowed on the early printers at Rome are evidences that there was, in the beginning, a prejudice against printed books. . . . The bibliophiles of the time looked on printed books as the productions of an inartistic trade. . . . It does not appear that any book-lover of that period regarded the ["Bible of 42 lines"], or the art by which it was made, as of high merit.
