Encyclopedia Britannica Stops Printing. Why? The Editors Were Just Phoning It In

Fans of heavy, outmoded reference books everywhere are in a state of mourning after yesterday’s announcement that, after 244 years in print, the Encyclopedia Britannica would be moving to an all-digital format. While this may cause some to get all nostalgic for the old-fashioned pleasures of plagiarizing book reports from a physical source, we think that, frankly, the change is long overdue. For years, the print editors have been resting on their laurels.
