Comment on an article in the New York Times About Old Style Books

There is an article in today's New York Times titled Selling Books by Their Gilded Covers.  I must say that in popular and scholarly publishing that e-books are here to stay and that this trend will continue.  There are certainly some bibliophiles out there who still love the printed book.  Fancy covers and book jackets can attract those readers to the traditional tome.  I bought an Amazon Kindle last year and love the convenience of not having to schlep a heavy book in the subway. Of course, a year later there is the Amazon Kindle Fire which is a better e-reader.
