Re Peter's comment: "while I regularly grab items online, I still like seeing the mound of books/magazines near my desk or bed."

Call me old fashioned or just plain weird, but I like to hold a book in my hand. I like the feel and the smell of a good book. The smell of a new book vis-a-vis an old book. It can transport you back to another time and place. Curling up in front of a fire place in my pj's with a steaming cup of hot chocolate, all snuggled up in a blanket, "holding my ebook" just plain doesn't cut it with me! Also, I do not like reading multiple pages off a computer screen. Yes all those sustainable development folks don't jump on me, I print the document out and read it! I can put my stickies on it, highlight it, make notes etc.
