John Paul Titlow, Fast Company


> The field is still being defined, but the best ones out there today merge the design sensibilities of print with the openness and interactivity of the web. The further that print-first publishers can think outside their legacy paradigms, the better served their tablet-bound readers will be.

<http://www.latimes.com/books/jacketcopy/la-ca-jc-david-ewalt-20130825,0,780696.story>
Douglas Wolk, Los Angeles Times

Still, it’s undeniably the case that a lot of us—not just professional reviewers but unpaid readers of taste—enjoy reading bad writing.
