“ The thing that I think is most interesting, and has really provided a new opportunity for this long-form, serious journalism is the introduction of the tablet – and by "tablet" I mean not just the iPad, but the Kindle, the Nook, all the Android devices, I mean the numbers of these things that are being sold are really staggering. And while I think they are not a panacea, they're not going to solve all of our problems, I do think that they make it easier for people to pause, linger, read. To really process very important ideas, and things that may take a little bit longer than a couple clicks in a browser. ”
