Like they said, there's something so personal about a real book. Much as I love technology, I'd hate to see real books go.

Well, at least in some homes they will remain. It will take more than a kindle or an iPad to make them obsolete as long as we can trade amongst ourselves. haha

I like my e-book reader very much, in part because I can't hold a book open without pain, and in part because it's a small thing that has lots and lots of information in it.

The print book is indeed a perfect thing, which is why I'll buy a print copy if I like the book well enough. But nowadays I start with the ebook.

That makes sense.
