Yes I'm all for putting down ebook devices in their current manifestations...but I agree that rejecting them on nostalgia alone is annoying.
"but...the sense of awe you get from seeing a bookshelf" probably gets me the most.
Or anything that involves the word "magic".
Once the devices accelerate away from geologically-significant response times and inferior design (both in the books and the devices) and interfacing while taking advantage of their digital heritage with insta-dictionaries and search...I think I'll be an ebook zealot. Sadly, that's still a little ways in the future if we're lucky.
