Mediabistro point to this article in which Steve Jobs says (about the Amazon Kindle):

“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore,” he said. “Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.”

People don't read anymore? I'm flabbergasted. True, I wouldn't buy a Kindle myself, but given the year on year rise in book sales, he must have (iPod shaped) blinkers on.
