Re: I agree with you very much on that last sentence. James Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 02:12:37 PM
I cannot imagine a domination of books in digital format. I can, by stretching my imagination, think of a future in which there is a comfortable middle ground. Then again, I could loosely be referred to as a collector. I'll take my hardcover over paying for an E-Reader to read an book in digital format, thanks. There is something about hardcovers, perhaps the ability to use them as a bludgeon if nothing else is handy...
