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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Lydia Hirt</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2009 20:38:56 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: eBooks &amp;#8211; Friend or foe?</title><link>http://www.booktin.com/featured-articles/ebooks-friend-or-foe/#comment-11108622</link><description>&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is nice, however, that it's there if I want to use it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The Kool-Aid Mom</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2009 19:38:21 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
