I call BS on that article.

The fact is that there will always be some dedicated PB only readers, but ebooks are here to stay regardless of how publishers try to spin it.

I got into reading ebooks on my pc in late 2009, bought my first Sony reader in early 2010 and haven't looked back.

Being able to take my over 1500 books with me where ever I go, and read on my any of my phones, mp3 player, tablets, or pc is priceless. I will never go back to reading paper books and I never read HCs so that doesn't matter to me.
