Antonio Tombolini"Bezos: We humans evolve with our tools—they change us. But our network-connected tools have not kept pace with everything we need. The tools we've been building the past couple of decades make information snacking more convenient—I like my BlackBerry; it's good for e-mail and chunks of text. But you don't want to read a 300-page novel from a laptop.It's not comfortable.The Kindle was built for long-form reading.
SM: So as the Internet shortens our attention span, you think the Kindle will lengthen it?
Bezos: Yes, I think people will read more, not less."
