    Real Books? eBooks? Where do you stand?

    I voted "both". Physical books have a certain charm that keeps me attached to them. I like the diversity in lay-out, font, cover, etc. I like that feeling of turning a page, I like physically seeing how far I am. I also like the look of a filled book case. I like the smell of books, the feel...
