Today's quote:

"Discovery is terrible in the digital environment. The iBooks app isn't very good, and even shopping on a Kindle isn't a great experience. If you know what you're looking for it's fantastic, but the whimsy and delight you get at indie bookstores is absolutely missing.

~ David Roth-Ey, digital director and publisher at HarperCollins UK, "HarperCollins talks apps, e-book discovery and a 'Spotify for books" (Guardian)
