well, i have to say that i agree with vr on this one. i don't want ebooks to completely replace all paper books, and there are plenty of paperbooks which i plan to keep forever (barring unforeseen accidents), and i definitely do see them as complementary rather than mutually exclusive.
however, i do wish that for all my future purchases i could have the choice of getting *any* book i wanted to buy as an ebook, because i materially do not have the space in my tiny appartment to stock more paper books (the beauty of ebooks is they've allowed me already to get rid of nearly 100 paper books ; that's a considerable amount of space to gain). i don't even know where to stick all the ones i still have ; there are (full) improvised bookshelves in every little corner and underneath things and blocking doorways which are already a bit too narrow when you come home with the groceries, and there are piles on almost every flat surface and even maybe a few directly on the floor. so it's not all the same to me ; now that i have a liseuse, i really don't want to buy any more paper books.
