>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).
I said that for books I want to keep, _I_ prefer paper. You're welcome to feel differently.
As for the library, I didn't even buy an eReader until I knew that my library had a good selection of compatible eBooks. I've had my reader nearly 2 years, and I've spent less than $20 on eBooks.
