Personally, I don't regard books in print and ebooks to be the same thing. Nevertheless I believe that one day, you will have a piece of paper that feels and smells organic but technically is not real paper at all and actually transmits electronic data. I believe the form of printed books will always continue but it will become an aspect of publishing, similar to how film gradually finds its own fit within the field of photography. Only silly photographers would claim that film is obsolete. Same goes for the printed book. Thanks for dropping by Jack :) Why do you feel that it has to be a battle?

I think the battle for reading pleasure--between the printed page and a computer screen of one form or another will continue. I’ve got to disagree with all those who tout ebook development.
