The real victims in all of this are lovers of print books, yours truly among them. For all of those brought up on print, our books will be around for as long as we live. As the market shrinks, it will make bound volumes even more precious. Perhaps future generations will only read on screens.

But for the lover of things retro who will want to touch and smell print books, those will be widely available in personal collections, antique shops, libraries and museums.

When the Romans replaced the papyrus or parchment scroll with codices, some no doubt took the device as a cultural insult. When the printing press replaced calf skin and oil ink, there must have been howls of ire and nostalgia. The current fear is understandable. But it is also selfish on the part of those of us who prefer print books to bemoan what is probably the most promising magnet of future readers in a very long time.
