The book is here to stay. What we're doing is symbolic of the peaceful coexistence of the book and the computer.

The book itself is a curious artifact, not showy in its technology but complex and extremely efficient: a really neat little device, compact, often very pleasant to look at and handle, that can last decades, even centuries.

It is reliable.
