E-Books?

In "E-Readers: The End of Bookstores?", Jason Young writes about how E-Readers like the Sony eReader and Kindle have transformed his reading habits. He speculates that bookstores will soon be a thing of the past.


Not for me, and not for M.A.L.

I can't envision a day when I'll prefer using an E-Reader to having a good book in my hands.

I can't imagine us not stopping into bookstores or libraries. Or not browsing through second-hand stores looking for used books (these days, this is how I find most of the great books that folks see me carrying around).

Nothing against E-Readers. I think they're a great thing.

But does it beat having hard copy in your hands? Not in my book!
