Always have read books, always will. Currently going thru some novels in my collection to re-charge my reading motor. I have 100+ books in my collection, all of which I've read atleast twice.
IM A HEAVY READER
As for the screen vs paper reading, screens will make you go blind faster, as you're basically staring at a lightbulb. I enjoy the arcane feeling of holding the physical thing, not to mention cover art, old coupons, and other titles that the publisher has put out. You know, those pages no one pays attention to at the end of books.
Also, you can get books used, which you cant with virtual books. I know Macs will want to charge $1.00 or more for an ebook, which you can pick one up for cheaper at a used book store or FREE at a library.
Another issue is the library thats available for ebooks, sure they'll have hundreds of thousands, but that pales in comparison with how many physical books you can't get ebooks for.
