As we go through this transition where a lot more people will be reading on devices, nobody is paying enough attention to make sure it's a smooth transition. I believe we still need places where people can go to handle, hold and talk about books, get information about what books are out there, and so on.

  • -- James Patterson 詹姆斯·帕特森

当我们经历这一转变时,将有更多的人在设备上阅读,但没有人足够关注确保这是一个平稳的转变。我相信我们仍然需要一个地方,人们可以去处理,持有和谈论书籍,获得关于书籍的信息,等等。
