Eventually I'm going to get an E-ink tablet, and I'll load it with every book I'll ever want to have with me.

But I'll still keep my hardcovers thank you. I love cracking open the spine of one of my first edition Harry Potters (One of which still has syrup stains from an abortive candy making attempt I made as a child), or any number of other series. Books aren't going anywhere because people like to have them in the same way that digital music still hasn't completely killed vinyl.

That was actually beautiful. I think I'm slightly tearing up from nostalgia
