Sigh. Indeed, e-readers aren't paper books. They're better than books. I realized I would never go back to paper the first time I tried to tap a word to find its' definition. In a paper book. And, for a second, wondered why it didn't work. Or wished I could enlarge the font a bit for my tired eyes.

No, neo-luddites like the author of that article can have their paper, and get out of the way so that we can get get on with the future.
