Quote preview background for Charlie Brooker
Until recently, I was an ebook sceptic, see; one of those people who harrumphs about the __hysical pleasure of turning actual pages_ and how ebook will __ever replace the real thing_. Then I was given a Kindle as a present. That shut me up. Stock complaints about the inherent pleasure of ye olde format are bandied about whenever some new upstart invention comes along. Each moan is nothing more than a little foetus of nostalgia jerking in your gut. First they said CDs were no match for vinyl. Then they said MP3s were no match for CDs. Now they say streaming music services are no match for MP3s. They__e only happy looking in the rear-view mirror.
