The bald but boyish-looking 49-year-old was a notoriously competitive businessman, and people close to him spoke of his peculiar fascination with broken business models. He was intrigued enough about the telephone call to begin looking at some research on the decline of newspapers and wondered whether the Post, having been cut to the quick, could ever fully heal. On the other hand, he knew from Amazon’s book sales and his success with the Kindle tablet that people were reading more than ever.
It's true - people are still reading! I dislike the narrative that some people seem to have that "people don't read anymore".
