I'd have to search back a bit to find an honest, even analysis of printed vs ebooks... I know I haven't seen or heard one for quite a while. Everything I've seen of late has been along the lines of "But you can't do X, which is why paper is better." Perhaps some periodical like Consumer Reports has done a better job at legitimately comparing the two media... but everyone else seems to be more interested in polarizing readers with contentious and one-sided arguments (which, after all, does seem to sell a lot of magazines).

I don't see the potential disappearance of "used" books as an ebook flaw; I see the increased availability of older books, presented as clean and new as recently-published material, as an ebook strength.
