The e-book field needs more innovation, not less: CES counterpoint
By Evan Leibovitch
I wasn’t as impressed with Edward Nawotka’s editorial on the recent Consumer Electronics Show as Paul Biba was. In fact, I saw a troubling lack of foresight and even hindsight.
A decade or two ago, someone might as well have said that a Walkman was everything needed to enjoy music. How downright quaint such an opinion would seem now in the post-iTunes era. Likewise, an assertion today that…
“at least for the time being, the devices that we already have are good enough for books in their present form“
…just seems to me to be oblivious to what needs to come. Indeed, in it I hear a plea for no more innovation in the field, and that’s simply unacceptable.
