Personally, I like touching/feeling/smelling the book as I read it. The stimulation of the senses is part of the pleasure of reading, not just the content, so, for me, e-books will always be a pale replacement.
It is nice, however, that it's there if I want to use it.

I too am skeptical of EBooks. I'm already in front of a screen all day, and when I want to relax and enjoy a book there is something impersonal and wrong about "curling up" with a digital machine. While I see the benefits for students, I don't plan on giving in to the EBook trend anytime soon. Thanks for ending on a positive note - that books will always remain readily available in some form.
