I quite agree with Charlie: the article merely states something quite obvious, that there is and there will continue to be resistance to ebooks. So many times on this site when someone expresses the view that ebooks may not be the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel (what heresy!) criticisms and even insults are hurled as if a crime had been committed. Yelling at this reporter that she is an idiot and does not understand that ebooks are better for her, for the environment, for the whole world will accomplish nothing. Books as they exist today are still perfectly usable and, as Dennis points out, paper is a renewable resource and is also recyclable. We are all here because we use and like ebooks, but we are, for the moment, a tiny minority, and we'll have to wait while the news about them spreads.
