Why this incredible push to get rid of print books? They are ubiquitous and still very usable and they have the great advantage of being passed around from reader to reader. I love ebooks and I love pbooks too, is there something wrong with me? I have been a lawyer for many years and I have heard many proclamations to the effect that we would soon have paperless offices: well, it hasn't happened because paper has its benefits. There remains a very great need for hard copy (I won't go through all the reasons, they are mostly obvious). For the moment ebooks and pbooks live very comfortably side by side (so to speak) in my world. Here's an exercise: imagine a completely paperless world and then determine how you would communicate. Are you sure you are going to burn all your paper?
