This is from Book Business, a trade magazine I get at work. The quote is from Dominique Raccah, CEO of Sourcebooks. A great observation.

Books change lives. I’m in this business because books change lives. They create a space in which you think about your life…in different ways. They create a silence for that, too, just because of the amount of time that they take and the emotional energy that they take. I don’t believe that reading text on the Net is going to have the same effect. A book is a book; it’s a complete object.”
