It wouldn’t surprise me if after reading this people would consider me old fashioned. I don’t like the idea of e-books, the mere thought that they might phase out the ink and paper variety at some indefinite time in the future causes my heart to stutter and consider stopping altogether.
I can’t say that all things are bad about e-books, surely they provide an ease of access that the modern world is all for. Certainly for research materials and non-fiction topics I can see their appeal. However. The idea of reading a novel, not on paper, seems about as absurd as attempting to swim in 3.2 inches of water. Ridiculous.

I have been reading books since I was three years of age, and the only thing that has ever gotten in my way of continuing to do so on a near perpetual basis is simply the rigors of life. I am certain that I will continue to enjoy curling up in a comfortable chair, with a good old fashioned book, even when we have three moon bases and a spa on Mars.

I am aware that my opinion is unfortunately not the only one that matters, but I am undeniably curious as to how many people agree with me. Or simply think that I have lost my mind and must journey back to the stone age, where I have obviously come from, as soon as possible.
