What's this continuous talk about "cuddling up"?
How many muscles are necessary to keep a heavyweight like Harry Potter open AND in a slant that lets you read it.
Reading on a PDA is a whole lot easier as far as the "cuddle up" factor goes.

The rest of the essay is just crap. It sounds like a desperate attempt to explain her own unwillingness to go digital.
As for her not owning an ebook of her own book ... did she type it with a typewriter?
The future of bookstores could be, that you walk into a bookstore, check out the covers in a sort of Wurlitzer, or pseudo-books with excangeable covers, and then use some kind of mechanism to get the book beamed to your phone, PDA or ebook reader.
I'd like that! Because even with "Cover Flow" (© Apple Inc) you just cant beat the browsing sensation you have when you walk through a bookstore.
