===========================
As for any bond with paper...funny, I have ZERO bond with stuff like that. I actually prefer ebook reader devices over paper. As I also prefer Audible audiobooks over TV or movies for the most part.
I also might not be as bonded to paper anymore because I can no longer hold actual books in my hands so as to be able to read them. ebook devices make it possible for me to read again. Though none of the current eink devices actually have any sort of mechanism to prop-up the device. My Nokia N800 has it's kickstand and my nx73v Clie can be setup as sort of an a-frame. If I did buy an e-ink reader now I might just use an el-cheapo plate rack/holder...not pretty but sure would work.
But for now, if it's not out in ebook format I simply do not even consider it...what good is a book that causes pain just to hold on to in order to read it...I mean If I want that sorta pain I can just talk to my better half...heh...glad she doesn't read this place.
