    Hmm, this is an imperfect analogy, but perhaps comparing an e-book to a bound book is like comparing a Big Mac to a New York Strip. E-books are convenient in many ways that a bound book isn’t, like size and weight wise, like cost free delivery wise, and cost free publishing of course. But just as no one would turn down a perfectly grilled medium rare filet mignon for a Big Mac, no one is going to dis a bound book. I’m having a blast with my Nook though. Classics are free. I’ve finished Joyce’s Dubliners and I’m halfway through Crime and Punishment.

    Well if there’s an app for a perfectly grilled, medium rare filet mignon, I’m buying an I-phone!
