eBook vs Book

 Amazon realeased the Kindle 2 today.  Thinner, faster, more space, blah blah blah as with other product upgrades.  Even though its cool, and even though you get free wireless to download books whenever/wherever*, I'm still torn about owning one.  Why?  Because I still like the physical touch of books.  And probably just like I don't need the 80 gigs of mp3 I carry around on my iPod, I'm quite sure I don't need 1500 books.  It's hard enough to focus on the one I'm reading now .

Gizmodo puts this into a nice summary here.

Yes, real books reign, but what human still reads real books thanks to the internet and all these handy electronic devices!!
