In the end, the medium is not what's important, but the information contained therein.

But I'd never imagined e-books actually replacing paperbacks, because being surrounded by shelves of books gives a more relaxing feel to than having a library of e-books on your e-reader. And as long as publishing companies are still producing paperbacks, I believe that books will remain a while longer, but will never be fully replaced.

I've been hearing rumors that nearly all the bookstores, including Barnes and Noble, are going to be completely shut down in the near future because of the whole ebook craze. I really hate that because that is taking away the pure joy that others feel when it comes to actually turning a page with your fingers instead of simply touching a screen that can die in the next few hours. Paperbacks and hardcovers don't need to be recharged. They are there on your bookshelf or in your hands, making their life endless.
(That kind of sounded too inspirational).

Being able to read anywhere, anytime doesn't mean you can only do that with a device instead of a book. I love both ebooks and paperbacks so I do not wish for them to replace one another.

On the other hand, I saw a study that showed that students learn better with paper books than with e-books. The developers/publishers will have to figure out why and how to fix it, or e-books will stall. But I suspect that this will be a minor glitch in the long run.
