Your "argument" is flawed. How are "real" books any better than an ebook? Personally I switched to a Kindle and then iPad in the past few years and LOVE it. I don't waste tons of paper on something that would be read one time then thrown on a shelf, and I save money. Not to mention I can read in the dark with the backlight. There are so many advantages to using an ebook...I don't really see any advantages to using a paper book...other than some people's feelings of nostalgia...
