I have asked my 16 year old youngest daughter if she would like an ereader a couple of times and she has told me she prefers dead tree books.

"Daddy, I love to read real books"

As my daughter (our youngest) has a language disability, encouraging her to read as much as she does now has been a life long exercise for my wife and I.

So our little gadget girl is resisting the call of the ereader.

"You don't smell the age of the pages reading an ebook in an ereader Dad..."

You know? she is right. Which is why my collection of older books will never be sold or given away. I will of course get ebook versions to read but I will take time out from time to time to "smell the age of the pages".
