I could give you 10 advantages of pBooks and then give you 10 advantages for eBooks. Of course it boils down to what is most important.
An example.
Up until a few years ago, I had a very, very large Cabinet Grand Piano in my Living Room. It came from the great American home piano era. This one was built in the 1920s. It had a tremendous and beautiful voice and a fine action. I loved it.
The problems with it were mold and mildew from years of being I don't know where because it did collect dust. It weighed over 500 pounds. Probably over 600. It needed to be tuned at least every 6 months.
It was difficult to let it go, but now I have an electronic digital piano that weighs about 30 or so pounds. It can be picked up off its stand, the stand can be folded, and all can be placed in a "gig" bag and stacked on its end in a closet if needed. No tuning needed. It also has a zillion (yes an obvious exaggeration) little extras being electronic.
To make my point further, when next I am in a hall and there is a 12 foot grand piano sitting there, I will be sorely tempted to slip onto the bench and try the keys.
But I will not be interested in taking it home, at least until I own a 30,000+ square foot and have a few hot and cold running servants.
