    I’ve used computers since I was nine years old. I have word-processed every significant document I’ve ever written. I own an iPod (actually, two) and waste time on Facebook when I should be working. I even have a BlackBerry. But in the frame of reference set out by this book, I am a living anachronism because I still cling to the “silly” and ” old-fashioned” idea that when you want to read something important it’s best to have it in front of you on a piece of paper, or in a book. Perhaps I hang out with too many old people, but I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t agree with me.

    Given Amazon’s recent release of the Kindle ebook reader, the timing of Jeff Gomez’s Print Is Dead couldn’t be better. Regardless of your beliefs about print vs. e-content, you need to read this book, especially if you’re in the publishing business. You might not agree with Jeff’s opinions but I guarantee you he’ll make you think about the industry in ways that you’ve never thought about it before. Even if you’re just a fan of reading in general you owe it to yourself to read this excellent book.
