The i-Pad, I think, is brilliant. Kindle I’m not crazy about because it’s black and white and it’s just very text heavy. I’m very excited about what can happen. The only danger, I think, is if people forget to bring the drawings along, but I don’t think that’ll happen because, you know, there’s been illustration ever since mankind painted on cave walls.
And to look at just vast blocks of grey type has never been that interesting to me and especially with children’s books. So I think basically we are just changing mediums. However, I think that in certain situations there always needs to be print. You have school situations, places where you have to, you know, the portability, the toughness of books.
So in other words I think that these mediums will co-exist just like radio and television. So the content, I think, will always be there; I think the delivery system will change and evolve.
