Will you mourn the loss of books made from paper?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37359points) May 20th, 2011

I don’t yet have an electronic book, but I have quite a few friends who do. Unanimously, they love them.

I can understand the attraction for certain kinds of books: quickly read pulp fiction.

I would even use it to contain the collection of books by one of my favorite authors, Terry Pratchett.

But I could never use an electronic book for Nox by Anne Carson, which is less a traditional book and more a flattened scroll.

So yes, I imagine that someday I will buy an electronic book, but I truly hope books of paper will still be available.

Do you have an electronic book? If so, what do you think of it?

Will you get one? Will you miss books made of paper?
