I know you like your books. I know you like to touch them, smell them and make love to them. I also know you like to carry 120 pounds of paper with you on a trip because you usually read one book a day.
As well as you cannot image yourself not being able to finger through the pages of your books, I cannot imagine picking up an e-reader and thumb the hell out of the keys on it.
It was nice of you to write that expensive book back in the ancient times, but I must say, you have a dumb agent for making sure your printed book ended up available for free as an ebook.
Yes, e-reader's might make the books extinct someday, but I often wonder what will make dumb television shows with clueless hosts extinct...
