Okay, what's the deal with 'real books,' here. Sure, the medium affects the message. Shifting from scrolls to pages changed the way reading happened. So did the migration from clay tablets to papyrus, and from caligraphy to print. But when was the last time you heard someone mourning for that scroll, so they could just roll through the book without having to take their eyes off the page?

eBooks are real books. They just don't kill trees.
