I suppose the key thing here is that this argument crops up time and again and misses the point. If the battery runs out on your eReader you reach for a paper book. It's not an either/or question. The BBC site seemed to run "will eBooks kill paper books" articles regularly, with a smug response "ho, ho, not any time soon", missing the far more interesting story that it's another way to read, not a replacement way to read.
Hopefully we're moving out of that era now, with moves like the Booker Prize judges being supplied with eReaders to use if they want to.
