Oh I love my paper books. There is something to be said for POSSESSION and OWNERSHIP two things that are never truly "possible" with an ebook.
If we lived in an idea society ebooks would be fine. alas we do not. Without physical ownership we lose our property rights in the sort of society we live in today.
Plus I just really love OWNING the books to put on my actual shelf.
I just bought the probability trilogy by nancy kress on ebay in hard cover! nice! (from the reviews I think I will like the series)
I have found probability moon for my sony reader in my collection but I have yet to find a pdf txt ot rtf etc.. download of probability sun and space. Will keep looking.
also snatched the hard cover of greg egan's incandescence which sounds fascinating!
I LOVE my ereader. but I also LOVE my books :-)
