Read/Write More…Complain Less

Is anyone else tired of the ebook v. printed book argument? Can we all please agree that ebooks will never replace printed books? Let's just accept that what digital publishing is doing is encouraging more reading! This is a time to celebrate! I looooooove our iPad and I loooooooove my stacks and piles of books (I did go to a used book store the other day and "sell" some books that I wasn't going to miss, but there are some that I will never be able to part with).

My only "complaint" is that the publishing industry is changing so much, so fast, it's a full time job just keeping up with it. And it's tempting to think that the amount of publicity and marketing authors have to do now may be taking them away from their "real" jobs of writing. But I keep telling myself, it all comes down to having more opportunities to connect with readers…

Right?
