When E-banking came along, I switched to pay my bills electronically, too rather than copping a feel over my cheque-book too, yet nobody seems to mind that 
E-books for me, have not replaced paper books. There are some printed books I have kept but I cart the e-book form with me in my bag. A person can have both. |
So true. If others are like I was then those who state "Oh, but I am all about how it FEELS in my hands" have never actually used an ebook. After I was given my first one I found that I liked the advantages of an ebook more than the feel of a "Real Book".
