    This more an Arts & Culture than Technology comment but whatever...

    Some of us don't only read books to find out what happens next. I like the Potter books in part for its sturdy prose. Also for it's more honest depiction of orphans (I am one; if iPhone lady can share so can I) than in the horribly navel-gazing "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius." My point is, who's really shortchanging the books here? If all you care about is what happens next, then why even bother reading the book? Why not just find a synopsis Monday morning so that you don't have to waste time reading and you can go straight to finding out what happens next?
