Unfortunatelly, I (in the past/present?) was/am one of them. I still enjoy reading a real book more than even Sony Reader let alone any other less convenient gadgets. My eyes like a printed text of hardback editions more than text of any electronic gadget (even Sony Reader). Letters are bigger, at the same time more fits on one page and reading from real paper feels somehow more satisfying. I don't know how to explain it though...just a feeling.
2 biggest pros are:
One - I don't need to buy a third bookshelf with glass doors from IKEA and as end result I don't have to think where to put it in my house.
Two - I like hardback editions (I still buy them though, like adult boxset HP 1-6 two days ago) and some of them are quite heavy, such as 5th and 7th volumes of The Dark Tower, while Sony reader is easier to handle. Although a few times I just picked up a hardback edition of whatever I was reading on the reader and would read the book relaxing on sofa because I enjoyed the sensation much more.
Nonetheless, the reader wins 100% vs. paperback editions.
