An interesting article in The Awl today. The author's logic seems intuitively correct—that Brooklyn, with it's impossibly hip Neo-Luddism would eschew the digital reader—but it doesn't quite jive with my own observations around the borough. I fully support the removal of dust-jackets, though—particularly the glossy bestseller-type ones. It's singularly unpleasant to spend the morning commute with 6x9 inches of something as garishly popular as Freedom (previously posted about) hovering right in your face.
