I never thought I would use any sort of electronic reader to read books on a regular basis.  And I still don’t,  and never will, unless paper books go the way of the dodo.  My wife, father and mother all have Sony eReaders, but I will never give up my paper and ink books.  The feel of a book, the smell of a new book, being able to dog ear pages… they are part of [...]
