Melanie Benjamin: To Judge a Nook By Its Cover

I'm not opposed to e-Readers. I can see the appeal of them, especially for commuters. But for the first time I realized, as a reader, a very big drawback to these devices, and that is -- nobody can tell what you're reading.

Everything is moving into digital media, just look at streaming movies and mp3. The digital book is just the next progression in technology. As I understand why some people are taking the defensive to digital books, at this point it's almost silly to take this stance. Digital books have been around for a number of years and have been available on computers and smart phones for a while now. Traditional books will ALWAYS be sold and I don't see those ever going out of print, thankfully. But I do not see the e-reader going away, if for nothing else but the convenience factor.
