That one has to be boycotted, not for security reasons,but there are enough places,like on vacation or airplane,when you want to read there is no wifi present.
When I buy a paper book, I don't want to have 5 pages and then return to get the next 5 pages.
If that is the future, I will change to scanning myself again.
