You're consuming text. End of story.
You're obviously fine consuming these texts here on a screen of some sort.
Consume your damned texts in any which format you prefer. Why should I care?
Can we move on?

Well this IS a discussion forum and people are discussing the popularity of ereaders and ebooks.
Why is that any less valid a discussion than anything on this discussion forum?
If you really don't care why did you bother posting in this thread at all?
Why should people have to "Move on" just because you don't care what format you read books on?
Personally I find the discussion in this thread interesting and would like it to continue...

For the record it IS all text but to some people there's more to it than about reading a lot of text. The texture and feel of a book vs ebook seems to matter.
So does the convenience of having 100s of books on one device (I.E. an ereader)
That's just a bit of what's discussed in this thread.

There, I've said it..
