“eBook models make us
choose. And I don’t mean
choosing which catalog, or
interface, or set of contract
terms we want — though we do
make those choices, and they
matter. I mean that we choose
which values to advance, and
which to sacrifice. We’re making
those values choices every time
we sign a contract, whether we
talk about it or not.”
~Andromeda Yelton~
