Editor of The New York Times Book Review

Interview starts at 11:41

Many people who bought an eReader of some kind or another will use it for some things and not for others. Some people use it to travel, but at home they like to read a book. Some people use it for genre fiction but not for literary fiction. Some people prefer nonfiction in a print book, while they enjoy fiction on an eReader. I think that that kind of balancing of one’s reading diet, as one does with media overall these days, kind of makes sense.
