I prefer real books as well... but I don't prefer to lug them around, so Im getting an e-reader. Only question is, should i get the Sony or the Nook? (Im not getting the kindle due to amazons proprietary e-book format).

Perhaps you didn't read that report where a Publisher forced Amazon to pull a eBook from all of their customers Kindle and give a ReFund.

So, go ahead and get a eBook Reader

I'm waiting for a report that says WiFi and/or Computer Crackers have a picnic.

good idea grandpa

Oh no I don't mean real books, I mean the e-books would be pirated, I prefer real books myself, I feel it would be easier to turn to a page you are interested in going back to. Though it'd be easier to find keywords in e-books (if they had a find feature) if you were writing a paper on it.

I prefer real books.

Ebooks are hard on my eyes Anyways.

Pirate's would use ALOT of INK and Super Duper Scanners (fast and high quality), just to pirate Real books.

I refuse to buy a Kindle or a Sony Reader.

Here's an idea, do you have an actual shelf with Books, pick up a REAL book and actually read it.
