Yes! Books should be on paper!

They have been on paper for thousands of years.

Paper is good, people!

Some might argue, "Well, they wrote on stone before paper was invented," but there is a big difference between stone-to-paper and paper-to-computer chip. For one, the paper was much easier to write on, transport, store, etc. than the stone - and now someone says that the computer chip can store lots of books so it makes it even better for transport. Frankly, the whole argument stops with "I once took my e-reader to the beach and got sand in it and lost my entire library."

If sand can take something down, it's not a worthwhile invention. I have books in my attic that have survived Florida heat and humidity for about forty years. Guarantee you an e-reader would last about a week in my attic before becoming little more than a rectangular paperweight.

PAPER IS WHAT BOOKS ARE MADE OF. D<
