I wouldn't mind an ebook reader in some instances. For example, if I was curious about a new book but didn't want to pay hardcover prices, or if it was a book I couldn't get in the US, or if there were a lot of books I wanted to take on a trip without having to carry them. And the adjustable type size would be good for my dad's bad eyes, not to mention I could read easier without my glasses. And I like that ebooks save trees. Why books aren't made of more recyclable materials in this day and age I just don't know.
Still, nothing can really replace the feel of a good book in your hands, having it there on the shelf, flipping through the pages, and being able to tell how much you loved a book by how worn out it is.

If the world makes me have to read full novels online I'll just commit suicide. There will really be no point if that's where we end up.
Yeah yeah, I know, I know...
