let's get virtual

For a while there was a panic about e-books replacing physical books, but I think that fear was overblown because, besides all the advantages of reading e-books - like being able to search the whole book, being able to copy and paste quotes, being able to carry a whole library around on a kindle, usb or whatever, how cheap e-books are, especially the classics (e.g. all of Thomas Hardy's novels for a couple of bucks) - when you read an e-book, you're still reading the book. I still have a sentimental attachment to physical books though. They have something that e-books don't. Like, I still have physical copies of different translations of the Bible, and I still write my insights in a notebook.
