I love ebooks and think they have done so much to move forward the amount and quality of writing available. Paper books were a means to and end. They were never intended to be the object of attention themselves. When people tell me the prefer paper books I wonder if they even care about what they are reading.
The passing of paper books does sadden me in one way. The loss of public space. Libraries and bookstores were public spaces to go and explore. And now they are going away. My hope is that coffee shops pickup the mantle of public space.
