I don't know how many of those tv producers read books these days, judging by the quality of some of the programs that are out there. But I still choose to be in the second group (and will stick to physical books rather than e-books and audio-books for now).
By the way, I am a fan of classic Russian literature, and I was wondering if there is a lot of meaning lost in translation when you read something like Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Tolstoy, Gogol, etc. When I read Haruki Murakami's books, I feel like not really understanding Japanese culture makes it more difficult to appreciate his writing.
