Canute called. He asked why no one learned from his demonstration.
I deal with this professionally. While paper books are going to be around for awhile, we cannot hope to preserve paper books based on the needs of the poor. I do not say that as a moral issue. I say that as an advocate. Fight where 200 million people and most major businesses are going for the benefit of 50 million and you lose. You will get run over.
The challenge is how to use the tide, bend it, channel it. Address the problems raised and try to deal with them sustainably. That is not easy. But it beats getting run over.
