Sobre la posibilidad de encontrar obras literarias en Internet, completas o resumidas, y además enterarse de su localización física por medio de la red, han opinado profesores, editores, escritores y bibliotecarios.
Cierta inquietud es que los usuarios busquen información parcial y no lean un libro detenidamente. Una bibliotecaria de la Universidad de Yale ha dicho: “[...] estoy preocupada pedagógicamente y en términos del avance del conocimiento, pues la gente será alentada a usar libros de una manera muy fragmentaria”.
Para otros, los lectores seguirán valorando los textos largos y, en todo caso, la búsqueda de libros en la Web solo los ayudará a encontrarlos. Otro bibliotecario, esta vez de la Universidad de Michigan, opina: “No existe una manera abreviada de apreciar a Jane Austen, y espero estar en lo cierto”.
Un artículo en The New York Times recuerda que en el film Crepúsculo, versión cinematográfica de la novela de Stephenie Meyer, uno de los personajes principales -una adolescente- utiliza Google para hallar información sobre un pueblo aborigen estadounidense. Y, cuando la búsqueda la remite a un libro determinado, ella va a un librería… y lo compra.

Una muy citada línea del cuento El sur, de Jorge Luis Borges, dice: A la realidad le gustan las simetrías y los leves anacronismos.
Como corolario de una semana signada, en materia de libros electrónicos, por el caso Amazon-Orwell, hallamos una breve pero aguda referencia de Carlos Guyot en adn Cultura. Allí, el autor recuerda que el protagonista de la novela 1984 es un funcionario del gobierno cuya labor es destruir libros.
Por pura y azarosa simetría libresca (cualquier buen lector lo sabe: los libros dialogan entre sí), en una entrada anterior de este blog se mencionó a Fahrenheit 451, de Ray Bradbury. El título se debe a la temperatura a la que arde el papel, pues en esa novela utópica los bomberos -funcionarios públicos- no tienen como misión extinguir incendios sino… quemar libros. Hacia el final, una suerte de secta lectora decide combatir esa destrucción y conjurarse para memorizar, cada uno de sus miembros, algún libro capital de la cultura humana.
Las mejores ficciones utópicas encarnan el anacronismo elevado a arte. ¿Por qué no imaginar qué libro querría memorizar cada uno de nosotros, de la primera a la última línea, para preservarlo mientras dure nuestra vida?

Mucho antes de que Amazon fuese siquiera imaginada por su creador, ya existía una librería -su primer local, en Nueva York, abrió en 1917- que es hoy la mayor cadena del mundo. Barnes & Noble, de ella se trata, acaba de anunciar el lanzamiento de su negocio online.
Alberto Cano describe de manera precisa las soluciones digitales de las que Barnes & Noble ha echado mano: Plastic Logic es una de ellas, y no la de menor importancia, puesto que se trata del fabricante del dispositivo lector que se utilizará. Éste será más barato y un poco más grande (con la consiguiente mejora en la facilidad de lectura) que el Kindle de Amazon.
Menor precio y más tamaño es, al parecer, la tendencia que seguirán los nuevos e-readers.
Por otra parte, Barnes & Noble hace decidido diferenciarse de su competidor utilizando el estándar abierto ePub para sus libros electrónicos y permitiendo la lectura desde distintos dispositivos (otros lectores y teléfonos inteligentes como iPhone y Blackberry), mientras que Amazon utiliza un formato cerrado que solo puede leerse desde el Kindle.

Sí, la cosa habla por sí misma, como se ocupa en señalar más que oportunamente, acotando la noticia en su forma legal y original latina, el sitio de TeleRead, uno de los primeros en informar de la disculpa personal de Jeff Bezos, CEO de Amazon, a consecuencia del rápidamente propagado “incidente” por las obras de Orwell, eliminadas de los lectores Kindle sin que mediara aviso ni permiso. En efecto, muchas veces, más detalles son innecesarios.

En un post reciente intentamos señalar la tal vez sólo aparente incoherencia de que una mente imaginativa, creadora de futuros, no se entienda con las tecnologías de un presente que hizo realidad muchas de esas imaginaciones. Sólo como muestra de una contradicción semejante, transcribimos un fragmento del diálogo entre el periodista científico Leonardo Moledo y el doctor en Química e investigador del Conicet Roberto Etchenique:
Moledo: Todas estas investigaciones resultan inquietantes. Por ejemplo, yo pienso que sería maravilloso aprender un idioma mediante un chip. Pero hay otras cosas, como por ejemplo los libros. El libro parece una invención que no puede modificarse mucho, como el vaso para tomar agua. Se modifica el material, un poco la forma, pero la esencia es la misma.
Etchenique: Bueno, ahora está cambiando un poco. Los primeros libros, apenas creada la imprenta, trataban de emular el pergamino. Con el tiempo se dieron cuenta de que eso no servía para nada, que lo importante son las letras que tienen adentro. Actualmente está cambiando el soporte del libro: no le queda mucho tiempo al papel. El problema de Botnia no se genera porque la humanidad es buena y Finlandia es mala. Se genera porque la gente quiere papel y las fábricas más contaminantes de papel son las de papel bueno, lo cual significa llenar el ambiente de compuestos azufrados y olorosos.
M.:¿Cómo está cambiando el libro?
E.: Hoy por hoy se está yendo hacia un libro bochornoso y berreta y que funciona muy mal (tal vez tan mal como el libro de Gutenberg) que es el ebook, el libro que es como una pantallita y uno va pasando las páginas. Pero tiene poca luz, mala resolución, el libro es grandote, caro y lo roban en el subte. No es una excelente alternativa. Ahora bien: eso probablemente cambie, se abarate, mejore. De todos modos, va a seguir siendo más o menos lo mismo. Palabras.
M.: Palabras, palabras, palabras.
E.: Lo que cambia es el soporte material. La esencia del libro no es el papel, eso cambió: fue piedra, fue arcilla, fue papiro, fue pergamino. La próxima será silicio (no creo que dure mucho) y después, por qué no, nada.
M.: Como en Fahrenheit 451, donde cada uno se aprendía un libro de memoria.
E.: Y además, se lo puede compartir. ¿Por qué no recordar los libros? No todo el tiempo, pero sí cuando queremos. Tenerlos incorporados dentro nuestro y acceder a ellos. Alguno puede pensar que esto nos vuelve un poco androides, poco humanos. [...] Pienso que, tal vez, es una cosa innecesaria. El libro, salvo por el problema de los bosques, me parece que alcanzó una estabilidad que no sé si hace falta modificar. La pregunta es si no estamos yendo un poco lejos. Aunque para acceder a esa tecnología casi de ciencia ficción hacen falta siglos.

La web -y la blogosfera- han resonado estos días con la “orwelliana” cuestión de los libros que Amazon borró, por carecer de derechos sobre los mismos, de los dispositivos lectores Kindle de sus usuarios. Ricardo Braginski, en el suplemento Ñ del diario Clarín, conjuga la mejor de las analogías entre el suceso y los libros en cuestión. El blog del sitio español Ediciona, que recomendamos desde aquí, amplía el tema al llevar la preocupación por lo sucedido a otros riesgos de pérdida, amén de la del libro mismo.
También, y gracias al boletín electrónico de noticias de Vender + Libros, conocimos el enfoque que dio al problema la edición online del diario El País de España, particularmente en el artículo Amazon ya lo ha hecho otras veces, firmado por Tomás Delclós.
Un extraordinario ejemplo de circularidad y del vaivén inquietante, que sólo empezamos a percibir, entre aquellos libros -como los que Orwell escribió en los años cuarenta del siglo pasado- y estos libros, los de un siglo que quizás aún nos reserve paradojas mayores.

Cualquier amante de la lectura sabrá que, entre los grandes cultores de la ficción especulativa o, más comúnmente, ciencia ficción, Ray Bradbury ocupa un sitio indiscutible entre sus novelistas y cuentistas, por lo menos desde aquella pequeña joya -que Borges prologó en la edición de Minotauro de 1955- titulada Crónicas marcianas.
Dice Borges allí, evocando a su vez una obra de Kepler del siglo XVII: “[...] Por su carácter de anticipación de un porvenir posible o probable, el Somnium Astronomicum prefigura, si no me equivoco, el nuevo género narrativo que los americanos del Norte denominan science-fiction o scientifiction y del que son admirable ejemplo estas Crónicas. [...]”
Pero, ¿qué opina Bradbury hoy, año 2009, acerca de las maravillas tecnológicas de un porvenir que ya nos ha dado alcance? Aquí va la traducción de un fragmento de lo que expresó hace pocas semanas en un reportaje concedido a The New York Times:
“Internet es una gran distracción. Yahoo me llamó hace ocho semanas. Querían poner un libro mío ahí… ¿Sabés lo que les dije? Al diablo con ustedes. Al diablo con ustedes y con Internet. Es distracción. No tiene sentido. No es real. Está en el aire en alguna parte…”
