He still has all his paper books. But he also has a Kobo and has been enjoying re-reading classics from his childhood. Where is the harm? I like my cookbooks and decorating books in paper, but I have 1500 novels in ebook, and I would not have the space to store that many in paper. So having that e-collection gives me joy. Again, where is the harm?

As for the 'I don't know anybody' argument, it could apply to anything, so...so what? I mean, in MY demographic, we are all young, urban folks without a lot of money, so nobody buys cars. I don't know a single person who has bought a car in the last five years. Does that mean I fail to understand why there is a market for them? Does that mean I think there should NOT be a market? Of course not. Other people (not me) buy them, and best of luck to them. Why should I care?
the lack of compromise is overwhelming.
