I once asked
book industry maven Mike Shatzkin about my rather eccentric views
on all this, and he told me in an ensuing email: «You may very well be right about the differences between paper - reading and screen - reading, in trerms of
brain chemistry, but just as nobody in the past heeded the calls that radiation and cancer might impact cellphone use, do you think makers of device readers will listen to you or even care if you are right?»
