I simply don't have time to read nontechnical books.

The internet and the Acrobat reader have got to be having a growing impact. When I buy software now there is no longer a hardcopy manual. By researching on the internet I can find things and avoid having to purchase a book. I still do buy many books however it is much less than I needed to before. Once a high print quality and low cost electronic handheld book viewer hits the market, traditional hardcopy publishing is finished.

That is unfortunate for everybody.
