TC Tidbit: Scott Westerfeld on E-books versus Physical Books

“You can watch a movie in a billion different ways: you can watch it on your TV, you can download it on your iPad, you can watch it in a plane. But if you really like something, you go see it in a theatre. It becomes a physical event. I think physical books will be something like that. The books that you really like will be like going to a movie theatre.”

 This quote is from an audience Q&A session at the Austin Teen Book Festival 2011.
