Writer says Jobs wrong about books; Jobs too busy counting his money to respond

The NYT had an editorial this morning/last night on Steve Jobs's comment that "people don't read anymore". Timothy Egan cited an AP survey that basically got overlooked, which stated that 3 out of 4 Americans have read a book in the past year. And 1 out of 4 have read 15 books or more in that same time period.

True, reading is down, somewhat, from 1992, especially reading of literature. So what? People are eating fewer vegetables than they used to ? or should ? but that doesn?t mean carrots have no future.
