"Keep the physical limitations that some readers have in mind. Not all readers live near a bookstore, or have the eyesight for the small print of most published books, and some have no eyesight at all. Ebooks have been a boon for older readers, both for the large print and the weight reduction. Audiobooks have opened up worlds for the visually impaired. Online shopping and home delivery are the only option for millions of readers."

"Can you imagine William Faulkner [making a public appearance] in a bookstore?  He'd probably be blind drunk and would tell everyone to go fuck themselves."
