Paper is still my "device" of choice. E-readers and the books (especially with DRM) have not yet evolved to "one size fits all". DRM makes it like video games and their matching consoles.

Whereas I can buy a paper book from any store, any where, and all I have to do to read it is open it.

There are still a good few decades to go before e-books become more prominent than a physical book. I love my T1 and everything I can read on it though.
