I like the way books feel, smell, sound, taste, and how to blatter, page, mark, pinch, squeeze and plow them, and have invested more of my life into them than one could possibly measure. But you can't carry Proust around in your backpack along with your work and groceries. But you can with an e-reader. Now I carry Proust--and Dickens and Austen and Oscar Wild (and Poe and Caesar and Herodotus and Plutarch and Shakespeare and Milton and Erdnase)--in my backpack, and still have room for broccoli and beer. And Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud? Got 'em in German. My kindle is bilingual! |

Not really. I can read forum posts, but can't/ won't read an ebook.
I read more than anyone I know. Ive downloaded 4 or 5 ebooks and never read a single one. Can't do it. |
