I'm not being pushy at all. I just say why I don't like ereaders for certain types of things. I never said anything was wrong. People just say how great they are for research etc., and I say why I don't like using ereaders for work, but love them for leisure reading.

I don't care if you like them better, that's great. I never will. But in every thread you're attacking my posts.

I'm not saying people shouldn't use ereaders for academic research--if they like it that's great. No need to jump all over people who prefer print outs. For someone who doesn't care what I do, you sure try to point out how I should be using ereaders instead of print outs at every chance you get.

You think ereaders SHOULD replace paper and thus you're pushy toward people who are resistant. Maybe you just love the tech that much, or maybe you're a tree hugger, or maybe it's both.

But no reason to even argue with someone like me just posting a personal opinion on how we do or don't like to use ereaders. It's different if I was being an ass and trying to tell people why they shouldn't use ereaders for this or that purpose. But unlike you I truly don't care what people do or don't use them for. I only care about what usefulness they have to me.
