All dead tree here, I have no e-reader I have no intent of ever getting an e-reader. I get pleasure from books above their content. I love walking into a room full of books, both ones that are already mine and ones that CAN be mine for some amount of cash. I love touching books, I love the smell of books, I love knowing books are there. And I like to read them.

And being an anti-social person I like the isolation, it means less people are hassling me trying to get me to engage in their group.

I have a houseful of books. I like to underline and write notes in the margin. E-readers allow me to do that, but not so easily. Still, the physical books take up too much space. If someone came out with a gizmo where you throw a book in a hopper and a digitized file came out the other end, I’d use it and get rid of most of my books. You can make files by scanning, but that would take me forever. What I want is a mechinical system to turn the pages for me.
