Some interesting - and some bizarre - comments here!
As several people have said it is not an either/or. I LOVE books, and I LOVE reading, what I do not love is carting a whole load of books around with me.
As for robust....paperbacks have been known to fall in the bath while I am reading them....some did not survive the experience!
I find reading good quality print/paper hard backs or large paperbacks very difficult - too heavy to be comfortable, but they look, feel and smell wonderful!
Many of my paperbacks are old from long-keeping or having been acquired from charity shops, and I can assure you dark grey print against a beige or almost orange page is NOT a good reading experience.
I have hundreds of 'real' books and I will not be replacing all of them with electronic versions. What I will not be doing is buying any more paperbacks!
