He often discusses ebook, how they will change the literature, whether for better or worse. I think that will change and nothing but literature. Not better, not worse. It 'should maintain an attitude and not secular apocalyptic event.
The new scare: It is normal as all the latest scare. Scare in the bottom, the need to re-adapt, to change their habits and points of reference.
This revolution is not the first in the literature, it will be the last. In time, the invention of Gutenberg's press did the same effect on the "purists" of the productions scribes, as well as theater and cinema killed TV killed the movies and reality TV killed the fiction ...
On the other hand, for many years, the book is done electronically. You write to your computer, the publisher sends the e-mail, paginate with computer systems, it corrects the PC, inserting images from the Internet, ... Only the end product is paper.
The book is now simply a ebook printed. Someone
argues that the joy of keeping a paper book in your hands warm is always unsurpassed digital electronics to the cold of a tablet. True. And in fact, paper books will always exist and indeed, since each of us will have the opportunity to purchase choice and not necessity, may aspire to having less, but high quality. ebook printed on high quality paper, with fine bindings ... Less can be more.
If I could, to convert all my existing library (hard copy) in electronic form (living space and feng shui!) And earthen only of beautiful precious and expensive editions of 10-20 major works of literature (Divine Comedy, Iliad, Odyssey , Betrothed, The Constitution ,...) and be really nice being able to browse every now and valuable paper, to admire the illustrations of Dore.
Electronic books instead, make them visible using a beautiful setting electronic (those that are used today for digital photos) that cyclically, or categorized selection, show me the various covers digital including the synopsis ...
However, I think, at least from the creative point of view, the spread of the ebook will open exciting new perspectives.
Let's ask ourselves what could be done with a device, similar to the book, but it mimics only as a starting point, as an ideal passing of the baton in the relay of literary evolution. Today
tablet do not more than imitate the book and, I emulate and this is necessary, it is the passing of the baton, the point of contact. But for the new rolling represents a fresh start to advance into uncharted areas of the literature. In this ideal
passing of the baton, one of the first steps might be changing the design of content (dynamic, updatable, customizable, which vary according to mood, networked, multi dialect, multi mentality, multi sex, multi age ... 'enter your age, sex, social origin' and tac! Here is the book personalized and profiled!).
An example?
1. In the new novel by Sandro Veronesi , XY released in late 2010, it is said among other things, the strange cases of hereditary insanity in a nursing home for the mentally ill in Pergine, in Trentino.
2. January 3, 2011, the public corriere.it news, the discovery of the remains of 220 people in the Tyrol, while working in a psychiatric hospital in Austria. Perhaps victims of Nazi euthanasia, eliminated in the period between 1938 and 1945, for alleged "hereditary" including the Nazis also included mental ones. It is possible that among the remains discovered there are also the remains of South Tyrol. Until a few years ago, in fact, in Alto Adige, in the absence of a psychiatric clinic itself, the patients were hospitalized or in a nursing home Pergine in Trentino, or just in Hall in Tirol ...
In summary: a Pergine gone are the close relatives of one of the inhabitants of the small village devastated by a murder Trentino atrocious nightmare. Embodiment of absolute evil. In a word SATANIC . And Pergine, in the '40s was partly involved in the Nazi program of euthanasia, extermination, ethnic cleansing, the myth of racial purity. Embodiment of absolute evil. In a word SATANIC .
Fiction and reality meet, they interconnect.

So far nothing unusual, but the novelty lies in the fact that the news (real) is the next novel, she can not have inspired so no interconnection.
With an ebook, networked via a tablet, the author could also "dynamize" the end, changing the plot, creating paths and customizable alternative narrative, the novel could hook this news story, providing an explanation posthumously. Could be argued, for example, that the devil, having succeeded only in part, in the '40s to pursue its work of destruction, had sought more than half a century later, to complete the work to where the Nazis (his servant on earth) failed until the end, right on Pergine, who instead of ending up in Hall, had stopped to Pergine!
course ... could ... It's not required. For many, these "heresies" are absolutely ridiculous and perhaps the same s'incazzerebbe Veronesi (and I apologize for the picaresque hypothesis immediately). Or maybe not. Depend on the taste. It will be just one more chance which might lead to a new literary genre of the novel and dynamic profile, the son of technological change.
Some might like it, maybe not the majority.
But given the shortage of players in Italy ... if this can help to bring some people to read more: too soon!
