On why paper books are better than Kindle:

I will never need to replace my book's batteries.
* If I get my book wet, it will not ruin my other books.
* If I drop my book, I can pick it up and still read it.
* If my book breaks, I don't need a degree to fix my book, nor call an 800 number. A little tape/or glue will fix most damage to my book.
* I do not need a 100+ page manual to learn how to read my book.
* I can forget my book in my car in the summer and winter.
* I can hand my book down from generation to generation without having to worry about the new books being backward compatible.
* You can wrap/unwrap a book as a present.

Now I understand that there are many advantages when it comes to all of the new e-books. I'm considering a Kindle myself. While the e-books are a great piece of technology, I do not see them replacing normal, printed books anytime in the near future. Will the era of printed books end? Probably. I honestly can't say whether I will see that day in my lifetime."

I couldn't agree more Brother. Original text here http://sharksandbearswi.blogspot.com/2009/10/why-paper-books-are-better-than-e-books.html
