It's great to hear that instead of people getting lazy with technology, that this author is using tech in a new and productive way. I've found that my favorite way is still using a mole to scribble ideas down in, however if I were to try this and have a commute as he did this would seem like a pretty great idea to follow. As for the death of paperback, I could hardly see an end of it. The more we are forced in front of a screen, I believe the more will draw a line at spending all their time in front of one. Also, as exciting as the Kindles and Readers are today, I see a better version of reading in the distant future which involves actual interaction with literature. That would certainly eradicate traditional reading. First off, this was a very interesting article.
