Never to run out on the go, or deciding to lug around the current and next book, does not need to be decided no more.
Before e-ink e-readers I never seriously considered e-reading novels, even though I did try to read on a Palm M105. The experience of it and frequent crashes were not for me. Experience first on a PRS-300, then shortly on a Odyssey (until its usb-connector broke off) and now on a PW is much much better.

I agree with you.
My post was just to show one of the arguments that people use when they want to say something against the e-reader culture.
Peace.
