Yes, I can see the advantage to paper books

All of which are not needed to read a book. I already mentioned storage of paper books. People have been reading paper books for years and gotten along fine with none of the things you have listed. Again I am not saying ereaders are bad, but I can totally understand most general readers not wanting one. I mostly read for pleasure and I can tell you I never needed any of the perks an ereader supplies except maybe for the occasional word I didn't know I would pick up my dictionary. Highlighters and notes I have only used for texts books in high school and college. I don't need either of those for reading a novel.
Again I am just trying to illustrate why someone may not want or need an ereader. I have one and enjoy it.
