I caught the tail end of a story on the radio yesterday about how movie credits "aren't what they used to be." The narrator was lamenting the creative credits of days gone by. Some of them were mini-movies in their own right. I loved the one for "Grease." And I thought the ones for the old Pink Panther movies were the movie.

This made me think about what else was being replaced by new technology or cultural preferences. What about book jackets and fancy end pages? Electronic books make them obsolete. I don't have an eReader yet. Do they still have good cover art? I like reading the author biographies, synopses, and quotes from other authors. Do you miss the feel of traditional books? Our library has just started to provide temporary downloads. I can't decide if I'm ready to venture into that realm yet.
