Bought a Sony reader in September. The only paper books I've read since then are ones unavailable in electronic format. The only gripe I have with eReaders are the aggressive DRM systems. I went for Sony over the Kindle for that particular reason. The Sony seems more generic and less tied-up. In fact, Amazon seem like a literature equivalent of Rockefeller to me. > the conversation was just > about like he brings up here.

For more extensive novels, it's a lot easier to hold and curl up with in the first place. The tactile feel of the pages... well... Can't say I miss it, personally. And scent of paper can be anywhere on a scale from pleasant to nauseating. No books smell the same, and many fall short of pleasant. :-) > In the end we agreed to disagree. Tastes differ, of course. Whatever the device, the content is still king.
