Well, I have to say I am guilty of loving physical books. I keep my favorites on my bookshelf. I do like the look, feel, and yes, the smell of paper books. I love to walk into a nicely kept library and just look around. (I covet the Beast's library in Beauty and the Beast

)
Despite this, I prefer my Reader. It is more convenient and actually doesn't take away from the "reading experience." So, yes I will always keep my classics collection on my bookshelf. But that doesn't mean I don't love my Reader just as much.
That fact (that I love my paper books) combined with the fact that I absolutely love my Reader has made some of my friends-also pbook lovers-consider a Reader. Getting a Reader does not mean you are turning your back on your good old faves you've broken in over the years.
