All 5 points are nonsense.
I especially think the point about writing in book margins to be incredibly stupid and backwards. Ebooks allow for notations. There is also a ton of potential for social sharing, etc.
In my Kindle books I can see 'popular highlights', and this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of social interaction. How long before I can 'follow' a person and see the comments they make in books? This is far more interesting, powerful, and relevant than finding a passage underlined by a random stranger in a second-hand book.
With few exceptions (e.g. certain books don't work well as ebooks and the screen technology is not perfected yet), all the arguments against ebooks are luddite, backwards-thinking crap.
