One of my hubbys favorite things is me next to him reading in bed. He says he likes to hear the pages turn and know I'm curled up n cozy next to him. This makes me warm inside, lol I look forward to new reads 
If he sees me getting close to the end he'll pick up a new book...
I totally agree that a granddaughter would Love one as a gift! Technology that let's her emerse herself in the world of books AND still be cool? Heck ya.

With a solid book, that piece of work will still be on my shelf in 10+ years from now. Maybe something goes wrong and you spill some coffee - you only lose the one book with a real book. With something like a Nook you pay just as much and are at the whim of technology for your entire collection. Machine breaks- gone. someone stills that one thing - all gone. Plus you know that it will easily be outdated and maybe nonfunctional in 10+ years. Yeah, you can download it again.... while its available for download. Databases shift. Things get removed or shut down. Battery dies? You can't read. Maybe if the virtual copies were way cheaper, but I can't bring myself to pay the same amount when I can get a hard-copy.
