I find myself in complete agreement with you, and particularly about your statement that "good things should be difficult."

Their portability appeals to me. But I too will always have books to mark up and furnish my house with! I have nothing against e-readers, though I’ve never tried one. Their portability appeals to me.

They don't have to worry about lugging books around and paying extra for baggage. I'm glad there are more choices for readers but for me, I like the feeling of having an actual book. I enjoy the browsing and the interactions with staff at the indies. Shhh...I didn't read the article. I just pour out what I see in the industry and how I feel.

And as a former editor, I certainly agree with that comment about "publishers as quality-control gatekeepers." I'm a firm believer in the principle that every author, no matter how skilled or inspired, can always use a good editor! I enjoyed your post very much.
