eBooks are real books. They just don't kill trees.

Yep... that's what I was going to say... and before the scrolls people read in the sand, read the clouds etc. etc..
I read books for the content, and the e-reader is perfect for me... When I find a book I really like, I like to read it again and again... Paper books just doesn't last...
... and then there was a talk about borrowing books from the library... disgusting!
