Not for me. I'm a psycho avid book reader. I can't even count the number of books I've read. At some juncture, I think I went through over 2 a week.
For me, the e-book thing has been a huge convenience. It sucks if you want to order hard copy books online, and I do prefer real books over kindle, but for me it's convenient as shit when I make long haul flights from America to Australia, having 50 books contained in a small, easy to carry device.
On top of that, all of the otherwise popular books at the library are constantly available because everyone e-reads, & the books at thrift stores & second hand book shops are ridiculously cheap. I've found hard cover copies of very desirable books, in fantastic condition for $1-2.
Shop around. If you do your homework, you'll realize that everyone snubbing actual books in favor of their interweb counterparts makes real books cheaper than a prepubescent Taiwanese prostitute.
Book shopping irritate anyone else?
