That's so nice of him. Kudos!

In China's case it's all monoculture plantations so there's no biodiversity. Don't know about India

Honesty can be rewarding. Not always, sadly.

The feel of paper cannot be matched by an electronic device.

Paper books are beyond me. I have my entire library in my pocket. No trees need to be cut, no dust-gathering, space consuming books on shelves and I can read anyplace, anytime I want, day or night.

There is nothing like a tangible book!

As it should because it costs the library a whole lot more for ebooks. Ebooks are actually horrible for libraries because publishers screw them over on it. So support paper copies from your local library.

I think the e-book thing is kind of a niche market nowadays, it only appeals to the big readers who are tired of managing big libraries. Stocking all the Book you actually reads can take a lot of Space. Its a burden to keep them clean. I just donated three full plastic bags of books I loved to read but had no utility to keep after, they were mostly novels. I have one e-book because i only keep my favorite paper books on my shelves, and want to find easely the one i'm looking for. It's the best when you travel and are not sure if you will read a lot or not, it offers way more choice with way less space and mostly, weight. I love my e-book and am grateful of it's practicity, but i will always prefer reading on a real book, smelling it, touching it and turning the pages is so relaxing and reassuring.

I grew up with paper and paper books and I couldn't put those annoying things past me fast enough. I love that I can carry 300+ books at once in a small device.

I had a lot of paper books, back in time. Than I had a period in my life, when I was moving quit oft, so I had to reduce my belongings. I changed to e-books. Now, I'm having a settled period in my life. But I'm living in a foreign country, so.. I have zero paper-books in my apartment, although my e-book library is quit impressive.

It's important to consider that e books can be pirated very easily

Something about the smell of the book and flipping the pages that makes reading incomparable than reading from a screen.

I hate e books

Now, if only young people would read news papers instead of getting news from Facebook

There is no substitute for actually holding a book, magazine or newspaper and turning the pages.

I have a bookcase full of paper books but I'm also in love with my Kindle. So I'm sitting on the fence with this one.

Turning the pages, smelling the paper. I love books.

That's good.

I just love the smell of books. Especially old books. Nothing like it.

Amazon won't come to your house and take back your paper books

I use both, and am by no means young.

At my age, I have to start my Swedish death cleaning, and I've decided reluctantly to not buy books (only used) unless I can't get them free or for very cheaply on line, or through the library.

I leave hand made bookmarks in library books I take out and read. Sometimes I get them back, in other books, and on the back where I left it blank are so many nice comments from those who took the book out. Or a line of poetry, or a doodle. Some thank "whoever put the bookmark here". I find things like this in the 2nd hand book store I shop at. Coffee dribbles on the page, some one circled a typo, a dog hair in between the pages, a name, an address of the owner who is on the other side of the country and I wonder how the book got here. I find junk mail or bills someone used as a bookmark and forgot, and I mail it back to them with a note. Books are alive. They're personally yours when you hold them. Can't do that with eBooks.

Have they factored software piracy into this statistic? It's tough to bootleg a paper book, not so tough to find pirated e-books online.

I HOPE this is true.

I can see the appeal of e-books, but nothing beats a real, physical book for me. The feel of turning the pages, the smell, and the beautiful glossy covers, etc. Plus, I like to read before bed, and reading on a backlit device can make it harder to fall asleep, which is the case with all electronics. And there's nothing like browsing through a library or bookstore, touching all the books, reading a page here and there. I love walking into a book store and deeply inhaling the scent of paper and ink.

It's not as much of a loss if someone steals your book at the beach. (or if you drop it in the tub).

Yeah because half of ebook you can find for free (not saying it's legal tho)
