Every good thing comes to some kind of end, and then the really good things come to a beginning again. - Cory Doctorow

"Dude, estoy aqui por loco, no por pendejo," which was the punch line to the funniest Spanish joke I knew. Okay, the only one. Google it.

The good news (for writers) is that this means that ebooks on computers are more likely to be an enticement to buy the printed book (which is, after all, cheap, easily had, and easy to use) than a substitute for it. You can probably read just enough of the book off the screen to realize you want to be reading it on paper.

This is why I loved technology: if you used it right, it could give you power and privacy.
