This is a lovely essay on the book vs. nook/Kindle debate. The author sides with books (I think) eventually, but it does give one pause to reflect on the state of the book.  The comments at the end are great, too.  One thing that I walked away with is that one cannot donate e-readers easily to libraries in other countries or places…books work better. So, I’m staying paper-bound, for now.

I do like a good audio book, now and again, tho, for the airplane.
