It doesn’t matter how long we’ve used something; all that matters is how awesome the thing replacing it is. MP3s and automobiles happen to be really, really awesome, whereas ebooks–at least so far–are fairly limited in their awesomeness.

About This Quote

This quote is a good illustration of the fact that sometimes it's better to put down a replacement rather than to keep using an old replacement. The best thing about the iPod, for example, is that you can use it to listen to all your music from your home computer from anywhere, so there is no need to switch between devices when moving from room to room. But the iPod is not perfect, and so when people find a better, easier way of doing something it's time to move on.
