My wife actually just told me this when we were in the book store and I didn't want her to buy any books. (We where there to get my son a book for school... he claimed he couldn't read it electronically cause he couldn't annotate it. Makes some sense.) She said she liked holding the paper book.

I was one of those "I love the feel of books in my hand" people, and swore I'd never use an e-book reader.

But like you say, Bob, once I tried it, and saw all the advantages, I was sold.

Ebook readers don't replace paper books, they simply give you an alternative way to read.

If they ever did completely replace paper books, well, thats not a world I'd like to live in..
