Abstract
The article considers the relationship between the quantity of books available at any one time in history and the nature of the reading experience, suggesting that the greater the quantity, with the mass production of paper and then arrival of the ebook, the more obsessed we become with criticism and the process of sifting out the good from the bad. Various historical texts are brought into play to show changing opinion around this question.
