So what if you don't? He clearly has, which why he mentions it - have you actually read the piece?.

What if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on an ereader? What if you aren't really dazzled by technology for technology's sake and just want a decent, affordable device to read books?

Then you buy something cheaper - a Kobo, say, or a Kindle - or start reading on a device you already own - smart phone, iPod, or even an old eBay or boot fair PDA, like I (and many others on these boards) did...

Personally, if my preferred reading device had me buying duplicates in paper, I'd consider it a failure.

It's his money - nothing wrong in buying different versions of something if you find one more convenient than the other. I've bought paperback versions of hardbacks I already own just to take on holiday and leave behind; I've bought eBook versions of print books I own because I prefer reading them - but I don't regard print books as a 'failure'.
