> All of my friends that are truly veracious readers prefer physical books. I've wasted a good bit of money gifting kindles. Interesting. I'm a voracious reader (several novels every week), and while I suppose reading a paper book is a bit nicer on average, there is really no substitute for being able to tote around hundreds of books (both read and unread) in an ereader. There are certainly exceptions. Graphic novels and large format art books don't work too well as ebooks. Poetry can benefit from being typeset in a fixed format (line-wrap weirdness is jarring). But anything that is mostly prose that I'd otherwise be reading as a mass-market paperback might as well be an ebook instead.
