I never understood the attachment to physical mediums. I read the story, not the book and/or e-reader itself.

I feel that both have their pros and cons. A book will never run out of batteries, for example. And you can read it when the plane is taking off without getting dirty looks from the flight attendants.

But on the other hand, you also can't download a new story to your paperback book-- whilst you're lying in bed-- with the press of a button. (That last bit is a pretty big plus and my Kindle is the best thing that has ever happened just because of that)

P.S. I understand the sentiment behind not wanting to read on a computer screen but e-reader screens look just like paper and it's pretty fantastic.
