Should books have ratings like movies, TV and vidya does?

Thanks to ebooks more people are reading and writing so it won't take long before the moral guardians ask for ratings.

Books are too old a medium for soccer mom outrage. Kids today arent reading edgy books with scary ideas in droves, theyre reading YA shit with psuedo-christian undertones.

All books should be burned in a big fire. All children should be shot dead.

Stop listening to advertisements. Epubs won't make reading more popular- maybe more accessible, but that's just the age we're living in.
Haven't you realized that all of these reading devices are being converted into smaller tablets, and multi-media devices? There's a reason they call it a "Kindle Fire"- To think, readers didn't pick up on that en masse.
