Re: Print vs. EBooks
I have a paperwhite (I believe that's its nickname) kindle, and I use it sometime to test the water. I will definitely buy the hard copies of my favorite authors, but I won't waste money on one-timer or traveling books.

I don't hold printed books as sacred because sometime they stink, and sometime their yellow color or texture make me want to throw piss and gasoline on them. However, I agree that certain styles are lost on the e-book. I cannot read Cioran, Celine, or Ligotti on them.
"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran
