I really don't we why we can't have the best of both worlds, digital books, environmentally friendly reading but without losing the advantages of having knowledgeable people to recommend books and answer our questions.

i'd love to see a system like that, and as i said, i do think we could easily replace all the cheap pocket editions with ebooks (and why not with displays, like you describe ?). but nonetheless, i think *some* paper editions are worth keeping around. just not all of them.
