Why are there so many authors today thinking that it is a good idea to write an entire book on the internet? Ok. I did find it interesting when Scoble said he would do it, but my first thought was that I am not going to read an entire book on the internet. Then, the next thing I know he makes a post that they are going to actually publish the book, but write it on the web. Fair enough.

Today I read Don Box’s blog and he was talking about writing another book, which caught my interest. Most of you know I look at Don’s work as being some of the top work in our industry, but then he talks about writing in a wiki. Now don’t get me wrong, I do see a point to the wiki’s. However, I also see too many of them with too much information that is not organized. I really don’t get it, I mean I love reading books. Not books on the computer screen, but actual books. Books I can take with me, books that don’t reflect on the computer screen with bad lighting, books I can hold in my hand and read whenever and wherever I want to, without a power cord attached.

I know I may be old fashioned, but I still buy books today. I am always looking for good deals on places like amazon.com. Maybe I am crazy, or the only person who will not start reading entire books on the computer today, but I thought there were more of us out there. If anyone else actually reads paper books you should join us at the Atlanta Book Club and help us show that people do read books (made of paper). Sorry Don, there is just too much indexed information out there already. I enjoy my stories to be all in one place with a binding on the side.
