"Electronic books, they say, are asking them to make a mental transition -- to veer from their ingrained appreciation for the printed books that fill our nation's more than 120,000 public, academic and special interest libraries -- to depend on a neoteric gizmo that disrupts the sacred union between man and book. Welcome to the changing world of publishing." - Charlotte Moore, Bedtime for binderies? The Austin American Statesman (Texas), Jul 28, 2000.
