I miss the old days where books just came out, you could buy them on a shelf, or even Amazon. Now it seems that there is this labyrinthine process where you have to shell out a ton of money to get a book or, once it is released, hope you can find a copy somewhere, somehow.
And yes, I know I sound like "Old man yells at cloud." And yes, I know there are many positives that out-weigh the negatives. It may even be that the negatives are all in my head, or so minor to be nothing more than the bio-chemical gurglings of an aging Gen X brain. But it is how I feel and for some reason I felt the need to express it, so there you have it.
And don't get me started on chip readers...
Now all that said, if we want to have a serious conversation from this, my question would be: what next? Will the kickstarter bubble burst or is this simply how things are done now and for the foreseeable future? Or will there be another approach on the near horizon?
