I was talking to a colleague today about how often she kept thinking she needed a Kindle over her Christmas holiday. How much easier it would be. I have one but haven't purchased any books for it yet, so far it's still a manuscript reader for me. So why haven't I jumped in whole-heartedly to the e-book revolution? Because like many, and not just bibliophiles, I want to possess the hard copy as well. To be able to pull it from my shelf and hold it as I still do. Are there really good reasons for why when you purchase a book you shouldn't be allowed to use the eformat as well?
Why do we not treat books the way we treat CDs, buying the hard copy and using the soft where suitable?
