Jonathan Franzen: e-books are damaging society – Telegraph

Via Scoop.it – Writing and reading fiction

(Franzen sent this post in from 2009. Next article: what aboutthe buggy whip manufacturers?! Ironic from a guy with a book titled “Freedom”. ~Chazz)   Jonathan Franzen has launched a passionate defence of the printed book,
warning that our desire for the instant gratification of e-books is damaging
for society.
