Here's the FACTS of this matter.....I've got Churchills 6 volume set history of WWII. You cant possibly own this in any other way than having the real 6 volume set staring at you majestically from your bookshelf. Your bookshelf makes a statement about you a e-reader cant make.
BUT, this tends to apply to important works / classics / reference books and non fiction.

If you want to read the latest dirge from James Patterson and his army of ghost writers or any modern novel.....might as well go tech.

Tried Kindle App on iPad and hate it, much prefer a real book, just the feel of it I guess. Have hundreds of books at home.
