Boicot a los e-reader por autores famosos

Me ha encantado el artículo, sobre todo esta parte:I love the e-reader. In fact, I love the e-reader more than I love any single author.
Russo also says he wants to help local bookstores, and that sounds noble, but I didn’t know there were any local bookstores anymore. I live in a major U.S. city, and our local booksellers are Barnes & Noble and… and… a few used bookstores. What I consider “local” bookstores are mostly gone. I think Russo is about five to ten years too late to save local bookstores. When Empire Falls won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction, maybe he should have banned his books from Borders and Barnes &Noble. I’m guessing (with no proof) that those chains killed off more local bookstores than e-readers and Amazon have.
If Russo and Stephen King want to limit my choices, that’s fine. I can limit my choices too. If an author doesn’t want his book available electronically, that’s his/her right, but I probably won’t buy that book.
¿Vosotros que creeis? ¿Realmente es una medida "anticopia electrónica" o es una medida "anti-Amazon"? Porque yo sospecho que en realidad es esta última y no se atreven a decirlo por miedo a que quiten el resto de sus libros de su librería electrónica...

Richard Russo y Stephen King han anunciado que intentarán que sus próximos estrenos no aparezcan en tiendas online como Amazon ni en lectores electrónicos.
