I can understand why you'd want an Ebook; you can have multiple books to read in a thin little format that you can take around with much more portability. The problem is, and this may be due to the fact that I grew up encouraged to read (which is a good thing, dammit) and I've grown quite accustomed to paper books. I simply wouldn't want to carry around a tablet and scroll pages down to read a novel. There's just something much more substantial to reading a paper book, even if it is so damned huge you can't fit it in your backpack without removing all other books...
