*G* I guess you can see it that way - but I think it's 99.99% jest
As for myself, I just find my e-book reader so much more convenient and comfortable to read on. I still buy non-fiction p-books, and I've recently bought a few fiction p-books as well - but they're like collector's editions, I want them because I love the books. One of the books I've even scanned and created an e-book from, to have a reading copy. The p-book will stay in my bookcase (of course I didn't scan the new collector's edition - I used my old PB copy so as not to harm the new book
).
