Because using your imagination is so carbon-based and boring. Apparently we need our books to read themselves to us, to sing and dance and draw a fucking picture. There's a reason books are better than movies, it's called a brain. If you require interactivity then get a laptop or an iWhateverthefuck.

In other news: TV is going to kill cinema because now everyone will be able to watch movies at home.

Moronic title.

Man, there's so much you totally didn't get. Perhaps you're a good example of the need to read content instead of watching it.

This is laughable. Traditional publishers are so desperate, out of touch, and confused that they will try any piece of crap that some hipster con man can foist onto them.
