One can get volumes of books on a little gadget and reading them is always easy.

True, it'll be sad if we will only rely on electronics.mikeca wrote:E-books are so convenient for travel, but I sincerely hope they don't replace traditional books. There's something about the physicality of a book, the paper, print, and heft that adds to the enjoyment of actual books for me.

The feel, the smell, the look, and everything else about a paperback just makes reading more enjoyable... for me at least. I tried reading on an e-book, but it never really worked out for me, because I'll end up doing something else when my original intention was to read.

But, I think there'll always be a place for a physical copy (especially first editions and signed copies).
I do like the lower prices of a digital version, however.
