Same story, different technology. Every time something comes along that constitutes a format or technology change to a familiar item, this happens. Sometimes the resulting articles are good, pointing out things that people should be aware of, but others come off as "this is a bad idea so you shouldn't like it either!"
At this point, ereaders are not so pervasive that one doesn't have a choice (not counting, of course, indies that are only publishing digitally), so I have little patience for those who try to tell me I'm causing the sky to fall by choosing ebooks.
