No, no, and no. I think this depends on how much you read. If reading books is just a past-time, maybe those responses make sense? But if you're a heavy reader, there's just no competition. - The physical feeling of a book is nice until you need to carry it around. Or more than one, if you're reading more than one book at a time. I'll take my nexus 7 over a mid-sized paperback (or 4) any day of the week. - Bookstores in my home town were filled with "Network Marketing" people who just walked around there all day with paper planners, trying to get people into their pyramid schemes. - E-readers are getting better at note-taking. And you can search your notes, and search the text. I wish there was better math support, obviously, but I also don't get constrained by how much margin space there is in the book. Still, my daughter's getting a bunch of paper Dr. Suess (&etc) books for some time :-)
