Paperback pluses

I heard on today’s news that e-book sales have overtaken paperback sales on Amazon’s US website. For the last couple of years, Michael has kept asking me in the run-up to Christmas or my birthday whether I want an e-book reader. So far the answer is no, and I still can’t see me changing my mind. I do read some (free) books on the iPad but it’s not the same. I also resent paying the same for an e-book as a paperback that I can always keep reading even if technologies change. And using the local library costs me nothing.
