Correct. People's attitudes about those things don't mean a damn thing.
The typewriter however was a less useful device than a computer's word processor. Objectively.
Why do you keep arguing that forest depletion necessitates that people acquiesce to eBooks forever remaining the garbage that they are today? Or is that not your intended point?

I did not explain well enough - or perhaps inferred to much. I think that we need to start embracing ebooks, so that the publishers see that there is a profitable market, and then less trees will die and the publishers and the hardware manufacturers will put more effort into making ebooks great as they all scramble for their piece of the money pie
I am not naive I know that real change is driven by supply and demand - My position is that if we generate more demand then the supply will increase in quality as competition ramps.
