Yeah, the whole ebook thing is admirable, etc, in theory, but it just doesn't replace real, physical books. It's a great thing to have in addition to the book, at least I think so, because I do appreciate how handy it is to carry multiple texts around. And I also do like how you can search the book and the built in dictionary.
I suppose if the next generation grows up more familiar with reading on a screen than turning pages, and with the idea of books as text rather than physical objects, they might think it's ridiculous to want a paper copy, but I'm set in my ways it seems.
