However, it was NICE to go buy a "real book". To fell them. To smell them. To walk around the store and discover them. It's DIFFERENT than book discovery on Amazon, here in this place, or anywhere else on the web.

Even though it was a nice experience, I have not gone back to a book store since I wrote that post. The advantages of reading an ebook are overwhelming....for me. But...I sure hope enough of YOU go out there and buy real books at real book stores so that....on occasion, I can still go to one too.
An eBook is a "REAL BOOK". I'm sorry you don't think so. But a book is not the container. It's the content.
