An e-book, though, is not a clear-cut winner over a physical book. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

You make some good points Catlady, but some of them might be seen as pretty subjective. Any viewpoint on any topic is likely to have an element of bias involved I think because people have a bias for or against whatever is under discussion. I may think that Obama is the best President we've ever had for example while someone else might think he's among the worst we've had in office. Alec Guinness said it well in The Empire Strikes Back, "Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly upon our own point of view."
