I love ebooks and the freeing of storage space and removal of dust which comes with them and I know pbooks eventually wither away with age, but somehow, I still find software as a medium too ephermal and constantly have a fear of loosing books if they are only software (computer/device crash). I know Kindle allows you to store your purchases online...but they are DRMed. Add to the dreaded DRM, changing media formats - it would mean either rebuying your books every few years or risk loosing them (remember VHS). So I guess what I am saying is that I can't let go of my pbooks just as yet (My second track is telling me Just hear yourself - paranoid and possessive) - I guess this second whatever guy is right!!).
