Since getting hooked on ebook reading devices, I have given tons of paper books to charity and reclaimed some much-needed space in our home!

However there are certain physical books that I can't imagine ever giving up and they consist of glossy art and photography books, cooking books, signed hardcover books and a huge library of children's books for my pre-school daughter.

These are books which currently would not translate well into ebook formats. I mean how can you replicate a colourful and tactile, pop-up book into an ebook? I'd love a decent ebook device for my daughter as she loves gadgets but that wold have to be in addition to her paper book collection and not instead of.

And if we ever have enough money to convert our loft, I have already planned out a huge library up there with a big, squishy sofa as well as a cafe style area where we can sip French coffee and read for hours.

I think some books are hard to replace.
