While I can certainly appreciate the utility and convenience of being able to carry thousands of books in a hundred grams, and being able to quickly search voluminous references, when it comes to reading for pleasure, I will always kill a tree.
I enjoy turning pages. Sometimes, I enjoy smelling them too (please, don't spread that around). I enjoy how the weight shifts as I progress through those pages. And, finally, I enjoy being able to just hand a book to someone and say, "Read this. It's fantastic."

Alister
