I much prefer ebooks. I haven't read a paper book in years. When I was reading paper books it was always paperbacks because they were so much more convient.
I can relate to people saying they love the smell and feel of a book. I always did too. But I love reading more and reading on my Voyage is just better than reading on paper.
I suspect that over the years ebooks will become more and more popular, whether e-ink or in other technology. I doubt if books will ever go away. At the very least they'll be around because people like them. And until the ebook technology improves there are things paper is probably better for. I'm thinking particularly of textbooks. But other things as well, the large bible or other book open on the coffee table comes to mind.
Personally I don't care. It's not a contest. Ebooks are popular enough now that we have good tech to use with them and beyond that I really don't care. More and more older books are becoming available as ebooks. I like older books. To me ebook reading makes more sense. To others it doesn't. It's not a problem.
