Very pleasing story balancing "old" technology vs "new", with both as necessary parts of a new whole. Almost all the characters are charming, and the one that isn't, isn't evil, just unwilling to give up past ways. Good sense of place using San Francisco and New York as sort of the old vs. the new. Amusing, entertaining, a little mystery and a little magic, and a happy ending for all. Paper book lovers and e-book lovers both should like it.
