Personally I like to read, not collect books, build a library or have books autographed by the author. If I want to read on an airplane, I can buy a paperback. When I take a bath or a shower I do just that, not read a book. I don't care to have a whole lot of clutter with books strewn all over the place--I don't have room for a whole lot of shelves. The reason I like an e-book reader is because I read a lot and like to have a library at my fingertips. Not being able to afford a whole lot of new books at today's prices I used to buy a lot of used books and was not fond of the musty smell, and it was really annoying to borrow a book from the library and maybe find some coffee stains in it or passages underlined.
I am not sure why this is even a matter of debate. Each to their own; if somebody likes "real" books then they don't need an e-reader. If someone prefers an e-reader, so what? I am quite satisfied with reading e-books, thank you.
