'The original PowerBook' Jim Davies, Design Week, 14 November 2007
A decade ago, the book was - apparently - on its last, musty old legs [but the commentators] couldn’t be further from the mark... [Impact of Amazon and AbeBooks.] We’re weaned on the paper book format, so we’re not only totally comfortable with it, but actually take comfort in it... [Paperbacks are the] perfect medium for reading anywhere... it’s telling that a blog is only deemed to have been a real success when it’s been repackaged as a book... We may live in an age where digital is encroaching on every aspect of our lives, but surely that’s a reason to appreciate the opportunity to free ourselves from the computer screen every so often.
