In spite of the fact that I adore my 'genuine' books, and can't consider ever totally supplanting them, digital books are extraordinary for my coming up short vision, as I truly battle to peruse a portion of the old top choices nowadays. What's more, they are additionally the best thing for trucking around with you, similar to while going on vacation.RaeGeorge wrote: ↑05 Feb 2013, 12:13 As practical as ereaders are, I really hope actual books don't become a thing of the past. I dont want to read bedtime stories to my children and grandchildren from an ereader.
For me, nothings better than seeing an overflowing bookcase, wandering around bookshops etc.
I like to feel the paper and the pages between my fingers and to actually see how much of the book ive left to read.
And I love to be able to simply give the book to someone else who I think would enjoy it.

However, paperbacks can be burned, defaced, pages ripped out, lost, etc. & ebooks can be accidentally deleted because of a virus, or misformatted. It scares me to lose a book in any form.

I absolutely still love my paper backs but with the speed at which we are moving, in a time not too long from now,the only hard copy books we will have, will be those ones handed down through gamily and friends to those who also cherish them. It will be their fight to restore paper backs to its rightful place.

That being said, e-books are so good for travel and it's really easy to buy new books with just one click...
I guess I love the 2 and hope that e-books does not replace paperbacks
