"But the physical book is going the way of the vinyl record, and the roll of film and the phone with cord. If you're sad about that, be happy for the forests. Frankly, about the only downside I can see to the e-book is that, if you drop your e-reader in the bathtub, it won't dry out."

Just as true audiophiles still use vinyl, true bibliophile will stand by the paper book. There will be a place for the paper book with collectors and connoisseurs and therefore the opportunity for those in the hoi ploi to discover the delights of such rich and traditional materials. The book is not dead it will go back to its medieval roots of exclusivity.

Barb - I do agree with you. There will always be the Jean Luc Picards who prefer the printed book. I just think that we cannot equate the demise of the paper book with the demise or reading and the love of story. No matter the format of the text these things will never die.
