E-book publishing is doomed - or not? [A 2005 thread]

Self-proclaimed paper-book lover David Coursey from ExtremeTech explained in a recent column why e-book publishing, in his opinion, will always be a sore loser. I am not surprised about his conclusion given that he believes, for instance, that e-books have to be short to be enjoyable... One reader responsed to his essay arguing that e-books offer "a way to live life without losing it, make studying seem like a game, and be able to do it by yourself without draining the resources of anyone that you're fortunate enough to have helping you."

We are interested in your opinion. On what side of the e-book debate do you stand? Do e-books make you merry or do they make your skin creep?
