A/S: You’ve explored the costs and benefits of e-readers and technology as they relate to the reader experience. With that in mind, when the robot revolution comes, will you be the first against the wall? Or not? Explain. Ron Charles: The Cylons will embrace me because I’m the weasiliest kind of collaborator. On my iTouch and Blackberry, over Twitter and Facebook, I whine constantly about how technology is ruining our lives, distracting us from books, and separating us from each other. I’m endlessly, sadly conflicted about all this.  In my heart of hearts, I know we were better off before e-mail, IM, even the Web. It’s all mostly a massive time-wasting distraction (except for that squeaky Fred kid on YouTube, of course). All this hoopla about e-readers this year continues to crack me up.  Who are these people who can’t carry all their books on vacation?  Who’s going on vacation anyhow? And if you are, are you really taking more than three or four books?
