Another new e-book platform? Please, no, stop it.

Is this REALLY where books are going? Personally, I still can't imagine giving up a book for another screen in my life. But talking to my hacker-ish friends, I seem to be in the losing end of the spectrum. :(

I wouldn't worry, paper books aren't going anywhere soon.

I just bought sony's e-reader on the weekend (the kindle is too closed-down for my taste). It's nice, but I think most people will prefer paper books for some time to come. It's great for Project Gutenberg books and open content though.
