I do like print books. There's something nice about being able to hold a book in my hand, to be able to smell the paper and the ink, or even to be able to open two or three books at the same time for reference purposes--something I cannot do with my single Kindle

If I'm looking for certain information, it's a lot easier to flip through a physical book than it is to have to click through all the pages of an ebook. Though the convenience of my wanting a book, and just being able to click and buy it and always have it available on my computer or wherever does make me happy.

So for semi-crappy fiction, I'm happy to read an ebook. But for something I want to keep forever... I have a giant hardback and paperback collection, probably more than 10,000 books between everyone in my house. I personally believe that print books are always going to be around, even if it's just as a crazy indulgence of eccentric people.
