If people like ebooks that's fine, they are enjoyable devices to read on, but I have found that owning an e-reader to read classics and free books on has actually enhanced my appreciation of and reverence towards physical books and so the kind of arrogance I quite often see here and the dissing that paper gets just turns my stomach. Whether it's intended as humour or not, I find it offensive coming from what could be thought of as well-read and erudite people and so have decided it's better that I not visit the site any more. Maybe I'll use the time I spent browsing here to read books instead.
Bye all,
Paul

I can honestly say that I haven't noticed that- not calling you a liar, just haven't personally noticed it. I think it is a shame that you are leaving because of that, but I guess we all have our own breaking point.
