Don't abandon hardbacks

The book continues to move from a
container of information/knowledge/art to a collector's item that is
worth more on a commodity level then what is actually written on the
pages. The experience of reading becomes relegated to collecting and
joy of ownership but for actual reading the electronic format is
starting to be more preferred. As technology continues to develop the
availability of e readers will continue to reduce the need/desire for
paperback editions. The focus on the hardbook back is also a continued
narrowing of an active reading community into a limited amount of
individuals who appreciate the hardbook version of a work but are also
willing to look for these works as well as pay for them.

A God Who Remembers

"What is a witness if not someone who has a tale to tell and lives
only with one haunting desire: to tell it. Without memory, there is no
culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no
future.

After all, God is God because he remembers."
