Extra!: You obviously are a fan of print, with your love for books, but you’re also someone well-versed in technology. Will the printed page survive the onslaught of e-books, digital editions and the other technological innovations that publishers are rolling out?
TS: There are some real changes in store, most of which will come from new, Web-based models of writing and reading -- blogs and open source particularly -- rather than new “technology” per se. I can imagine the economics of publishing, or segments of publishing, could suffer real upheaval. But the physical book is not in any immediate danger.
