This tread reminds me of similar discussions at my rangefinderforum, where the merits of film over digital cameras are swatted about until some noses are bloodied or eyes blackened.

I'll say here what I say there: there's room for both in my life, there should be room for both on this planet. Each side had good points on the benefits of their preferred mode.

Should a book not be available for my reader-app, I click the button on Amazon, or B&N, saying I'd like the publisher to know that I would have bought that version of e-book, had it been available. Then I go off and hunt down a decent used copy of the print book I want. If there's no "very good" copy available, I'll buy new.
