CON
A short history lesson
A few decades ago, everyone praised the digitized sound quality of the CD. It was hailed as a technological triumph! Later, people began to feel that perhaps the sound was too clean, too cold and too sterile. How many listeners and musicians have since longed for the warmth and feeling of analog sound? I predict a similar thing will happen with e-books. After the hype dies down, we'll start to realize what we've lost. The feel, the smell, the indescribable joy and comfort of a real book - all are perfectly designed and functional, no owner's manual or batteries needed. Yes, ditching the book and curing up with an electrical apparatus will surely leave us feeling cold.

An expensive device
Why carry around another expensive device that you can easily lose? If you lose a paperback, you're only out about $8.00 instead of several hundred.

The subtle advantages of paper
In the bookshop, in your favorite easy chair, or by your child's bed, books - many with colorful images - invite us to browse and relax. Digitized books, in contrast, incite us to consume, to stay busy and to stay moving. E-books may find a following, but they will never match or replace the perfection that is the book.

Now what's your viewpoint?
