Ya know what's funny? Logic would say that the ebook is the better choice, but if you ask 1000 people which they'd rather have, like only 3% will say ebook, and the rest will chose the print book, not because of simplicity, ease of use or anything like that. It's because they're most comfortable with them. There's also an increasing number of people who read because they want to "unplug" from their daily deluge of electronic gizmos. For me there's never been a need to unplug at the end of the day. I could go straight from work where I spent all day bathed in electronics, to home where I'd continue to bathe myself in them all over again. Most people however can't. When the day is done, the plug comes out and the paper comes out. It's probably why ebooks haven't gotten any bigger than they already are.
