I'm voting no, not because I agree with the author of the article or because I don't embrace the technology but because new technology has not proven to be a replacement for old ways of doing things in the past and probably won't in the future. eBooks are great, they're convenient, handy, less expensive, etc etc, but there will always be books and there'll always be something to be said for reading a book the "old fashioned" way. I own over 20,000 books, I'm not likely to be converting all that into electronic books now or in the future. Why bother? I'll still buy books because not everything will be available as an eBook (at least not for a long time yet) nor do eBooks reproduce imagery well enough yet and there's the tactile element too. I love my eBooks and I love my plain old fashioned dead tree books too! The author of this article is just a doom and gloom type, a fuddy dutty who probably thinks them thar talkin' picture boxes are the work o' the devil. To him I say, ppththththtt!
