Well ... of course you are right. It's just that people don't see it that way.
Show people your kindle and you'll have to fight against the "feeling" and "smell" and "soul" of paper books, against poor going-out-of-business bookstores, against any-idiot-can-write-an-ebook and "people don't read anymore" arguments.
Don't worry ... the future is unstoppable. Resistance is futile ... ebooks will assimilate us all
Merry Christmas
