Just in case you've been getting the standard gloom & doom libraries-are-dead digitization-will-replace-all-the-books-in-the-world spiel, here's a nice article giving a whole host of reasons (33 to be precise) as to why this will never happen. Tracy, who brought the article to my attention, liked #5. I'm more of a fan of #23.
Thanks to Tracy for the link.
I'm for 27--the book experience. I tried to read a Jane Austen novel via one of those email sites that can send you a chapter a day. I couldn't do it. I'm on the computer enough. When I want to read, I want to--read--a book.
