14 Jun Umberto Eco
I belong, of course, to those who prefer to read a novel or poem in the paper medium of books, whose dog-eared and crumpled pages I will remember , though I am told that there is now a generation of digital hackers who,not having ever a book in their lives, have now enjoyed Don Quixote for the first time thanks to the e-book. A clear gain for their minds but a terrible cost to their eyesight. If future generations come to have a good (psychological and physical) relationship with the e-book, the power of Don Quixote will remain intact.
