There are definitely areas where paper books excel (cookbooks.) However I argue that eBooks are unmatched for fiction and non-fiction pleasure reading. I know I've certainly read more books and bought more books since I purchased an eReader. I feel that a lot of resistance to eBooks are luddite-esque ("I like the smell of books," "I like the feel of books," "I like my full bookcase.") It will probably take a half-generation of kids using eBooks to figure out what the new normal will look like (cf: the disruption from cassette to MP3.)
