Here's the article that counters Mr. Coursey's article:

It seemed to me, after reading the article, that Mr. Coursey really isn't that familiar with the technology. He didn't even list the ability to carry many different books as an advantage of the ebook. Plus questioning the length of ebooks was absolutely ridiculous. Why he feels that ebooks need to be short is beyond me.

I love ebooks. I have over sixteen on my Axim right now and I paid for the yearly Fictionwise subscription because I buy so many ebooks. The only traditional books that I buy are ones that can't be found on ebooks. I'm also a huge fan of Zinio as well and can't wait for "electronic reading" to really expand and become more popular.
