For me there is nothing more satisfying than pawing through 100s of used books before finding the one that I want to take home with me and proudly display on my bookshelf for years to come. I just don't believe I could ever curl up with a good e-book. At least not yet. I don’t see much of a reason to buy a Kindle either.

While the Kindle's cool, I couldn't care less about it. I value my shelves full of books, and there's something very satisfying about turning pages manually and feeling the weight of the volume in your hands. I'm definitely going to be one of those old fuddy-duddies that doesn't go 100% digital with the rest of the world. My kids will be embarrassed by me, and I'll think it's funny.
