It'll be a sad day when the books disappear. And content over the Internet gets "controlled" because we will have lost some real freedoms.
The techno micro bite articles geared toward the "short information crowd" (is ADD a common social disease today?) are good if you are interested in a certain piece of gear. Otherwise they read like instruction manuals. Utilitarian, but boring and lacking inspiration. They drove me away from most magazines.
There are still outdoor authors like Mule Deer who know how to write;and demonstrate the field experience to be creditworthy.
But a lot of stuff today is like watching an episode of Beevus and Butthead after reading Huckleberry Finn
