Whilst I am generally not a lover of the Daily Mail. I thought this article was quite interesting. Personally I have never really understood why the e-reader and the book have to be mutually exclusive. Surely it's horses for courses? Kindles are great for holiday reading & travelling light, but the pleasure of reading a proper book is ingrained into our psyche on a deeper level somehow. Anyway - if what he says is true and sales of e-books are falling now in America, with sales in the UK expected to follow suit, then I will sleep easier tonight!! Over and out!

I read the article too, with roughly the same reaction. Incidentally, I've started my blog again.
