The print newspaper is dead, long live the online media.
People are reading more than ever, but as words on screen. Not necessarily books as usually defined, but reading. That's where I read my book reviews: at Salon, at the online NY Times, at the online NY Review of Books, at Arts and Letters Daily, at 3 Quarks Daily, and several dozen other blogs. Mailing lists. Usenet newsgroups. It's like drinking from a firehose. There's no dearth of reviewing.
Oh, and ebooks? They're coming. From libraries, from online stores, and as free public domain ebooks from several sites, which I won't name, lest I be thought a shill. Intensely satisfying to read a review online, read a sample chapter online, and buy and download the ebook. All within half an hour.
What problem?
