>I actually have books that I want to keep (to go back to them once in a while) on iPad and Kindle. So I see no need at all for paper books. So I disagree about "casual reading" notion. And I am sure you know (and maybe do too) that you can borrow e-books from a library.
>Another benefit of e-books from a library is that it does not spread germs (as paper book could).
