I edited out some of my previous comments where I mentioned "I don't understand why people still like books" before you replied. What I mean is "I like the e-book experience so much that I'd be surprised if most people who switched over didn't feel the same way." It's a subjective thing to say, but I've been a heavy user of both paperbacks and now e-books. If you try the Kindle reader out, you might be pleasantly surprised by the experience (or maybe not, but the main thing I was trying to understand from this is whether the OP had tried it and disliked it, having a preference for paperbacks).
