Amazon to Launch Kindle Singles e-books

Amazon announced that they will be launching a new type of "book" called Kindle Singles. These are books that are ca. 30 to 90 pages in length, equivalent to a couple of chapters of regular books.
If I understand correctly they mean they will be looking especially for any articles, stories, etc. that fit this length description. To me this seems like they are just looking at catering to people who will spend more in the long run if each single purchase is of a lower price (the Singles would be significantly cheaper than regular books) and to people who are getting used to reading less and less due to the internet. This also pertains to my last blog entry on a new book discussing how the internet is changing how our brain functions. We are getting more and more accustomed to always only taking in small pieces of information and reading lots of little different short tidbits and skimming many articles quickly and shallow. Basically, I guess I'd have to say that I do not like where this development is going. If even things that are being marketed as books are being altered to fit our "internet brains", then the demise of books really doesn't seem very far off at all anymore.
