A very good point and totally true. If you think about it in that literal way, a lot of people who like reading paper books would look at the eink and be totally amazed that it looks just like paper and prefer that because simulates it perfectly. These people may never have adopted to an electronic reading technology unless it simulated a real book. People like me who have been reading on screens our whole lives adopt to LCD and other technology because we are used to it and we aren't attached to paper at all. Interesting. That really changes my thoughts on it.
