Jason Epstein Revisited

Robert McCrum presents a refreshing look at publishing in the Guardian that cites Jason Epstein's NY Review article (see below) and emphasizes the fact that reading and writing will remain what they always have been. Is it possible that new devices or delivery systems can fundamentally change that?

By the way, Robert McCrum has a new book due in May - "Globish: How the English Language Became the World's Language" - described by the publisher as "a Guns, Germs, and Steel argument based on the power of the word."
