> To be honest, I have a hard time singling out the kind of book that cannot be adequately (and attractively) represented in a digital format. I can pick up books for a couple bucks at the used book store, and for free or maybe a quarter or two at garage sales. I don't care if I drop them or lose them or if someone borrows them and never gives them back. I'm not likely to be a target for mugging for reading a book the bus or train. I don't have to worry about some web store going out of business or some business deal changing or DRM breaking and invalidating my books. Sometimes digital is better, but not always.
