With the announcement of an upgraded Sony Reader and a look at what appears to be Amazon's Kindle 2, I guess it is as good of time as any for me to weigh in on ebooks and ebook readers…
Well, my opinion really is a simple one - they do nothing for me. They mean nothing to me. I am a reader of books. I want paper and overstuffed shelves, damn it! I suppose there is a place in the modern world for technical type texts to be easily available on your Blackberry for work - but, in my opinion, the book may be the single greatest thing ever invented (and not just for accessing the written word)… for information, entertainment, and enlightenment there really is nothing better. So, even though I am pseudo tech geek who loves gadgets, when it comes to books, I am more a luddite than a technocrat… so be it.
Long Live the Book!

I'm right there with ya... tv, computer, phone, music all need the latest and greatest, but no matter how cool and modern it is, a book needs to be a BOOK!
