I’d love to know what other people feel and why. If you can give your reasons for why you feel the way you do, it’ll promote a really interesting debate.
I haven't given up on paper. There are still things I own in paper or borrow from the library. I'm buying a paper book at the end of the month because my wife and I want to read it at the same time without buying two copies.

So I can't go back to paper because I haven't left, but I'm not giving up my e-reader either.
