What the recyclability of these e-book readers! What happens when they're obsolete. Books are paper products, you can recycle them and use recycled paper to make them!

What you say about your book collection is so true! I love collecting books and to only own a file seems so boring, not to mention so tempory. Computer equipment is not known for its durability especially compared to books.

Even though I am only 26 years old and my generation issupposed to be one of the big supporters of technology improvements, I have a hard time believing that plastic and electrical components will take over the wonderful variety of beautifuly bound and illustrated books that out there in the world. I dont think anything will really replace the joy and feel of turning a page, flipping through a book and looking at the page type and illustrations through out. I had to read plenty of documents while in college on the computer and it just doesn't compare to the ease of looking through paper bound material. I still prefer to look through ecnyclopedias rather than wikipedia. I think books will live on!
