Afterwards, I'm so deep in my book that I don't care about the medium or the environment, I'm not even aware of it, except when it's too distracting (and sometimes paper books you can't keep open for instance can be quite distracting). Anyway, anyone has every right to enjoy their reading/music and general leisure as they please. I have no problems with that. I just can't take another "this is not a real book" comment.

So you're projecting your own limits on others because they want something you don't need? Reminds me of the people who try to tear down people who want faster displays (e.g. me) because they don't need to read faster.
As far as the "it's not a real book" thing is concerned, I agree with it. Ebooks are not real books, just the same as websites are not real books until they are printed and bound.
