Hm. Many of those objections are objections for paper books too? When was the last time you &#x27;reformatted&#x27; an article from a magazine into a pamphlet form? When was the last time you magically ported a book onto your airplane?  Even sharing - you have to actually <i>give the book away</i> to accomplish that, and you have to actually <i>be in the same room</i> as your friend.<p>Its easy to criticize ebooks; there&#x27;s much to criticize there. But lets be careful not to claim that means ebooks are worse than paper. Because paper can do <i>none</i> of the many things that ebooks can do.
