Blah, blah, blah...That is his opinion and he is welcome to it.
I'd much rather read the "pixel" based ebook.
I can change the background to black with a yellow tint to the font...of my choice of course...as well as increasing or decreasing the brightness of the sheet when reading at night. During the day a nice off white background with black font and choice of brightness suits me just fine.
I can carry hundreds, or more, books in my pants pocket and nobody notices...imagine trying that with tree based books.
Depending on the reader and where I am I can also buy a book, newspaper, magazine from my comfy, cozy spot and voila it is "delivered" to my reader in a very short period of time....sometimes even at no cost...WOW !
I'll keep my pixels thank you very much...
However I might rather enjoy the capability of an ebook that would have embedded within a variety of video, audio additions to "enhance" the experience. Imagine reading a book...say "The Hobbit" and while reading the many songs you could actually listen to them by merely clicking on a "link"? or perhaps a short video of something that pertains...or maybe yet "sound effects"..."It was a dark and stormy night" to quote from Snoopy, and have some sound effects jump in while on that page, etc. That could be fun or get old fast if it is too much and too frequent...hopefully you could shut it all off and read the "good old fashioned way" hehehe.
