I read mostly nonfiction and there are times when I miss being able to flip through print books. For instance, I sometimes want to compare parts of two history or business books when I read something that jogs my memory. Even with two devices side by side, it's not as quick or easy as flipping through two print books.
Flipping and using multiple books at the same time also came in handy during school, as I remember.
That said, there's nothing to stop me from buying print books, as well as e-books. It doesn't make sense to dismiss the advantages of technology when I don't have to pick between digital and print; I can use both to my advantage.
As for people who don't like digital reading: shrug. I don't care how anyone else prefers to read. If they read at all, I think that's great. I'm not interested in converting anyone to e-books. It's not as if their preferences reflect on mine, or vice versa.
