As long as people are reading, does the medium of delivery matter? I like books and have a basement full of them, but I understand the utility of an ereader. I use books as a stress relief for when i have to turn the computer and internet off for a while. If e-books were significantly less expensive, I'd start to consider it more.
I agree with this. Reading on the computer is what I do for work, and my irrational concern is that I will mentally equate an ereader with work instead of fun and relaxation. Reading dead trees is what I do to relax. Upstairs I have a "Luddite room" with a comfy chair, bookshelves and zero technology other than the electric lights and ceiling fan. If I could get a $30 book for $5 on a Kindle or other style device, however, and that leads me to reading more? I'd have to seriously consider getting one.
It doesn't matter that much. I was just curious on the general opinion of an aggregate of moderately-intelligent people such as Hubski
