I absolutely agree. I'm not talking about a paperless society.
I think Amazon would tell you that people will buy books after simply looking at the on-line write up. The brick and mortars where people browse actual books are in self preservation mode.Browsing books is a great way to sell books, and bookstores have been using that fact for a long time. With pdfs, the back blurb is good, but books have that also. And the back blurb rarely sells anything to me.
Neither am I. There are just too many things that paper does well and cheaply that we can't quite replicate with electronic equivalents.
And as I've pointed out elsewhere, there are all kinds of economic and environmental factors linked to the infrastructure of electronic media that are still not where we need them to be for mass adoption. We need to be able to make plastics out of something other than petrochemicals, for instance, and to be more efficient about recycling and refining the metals and other elements used in the manufacture of electronic devices and their batteries.
Right now kindles pretty much suck for most gaming books. IPads work well, but are a bit over the top for now. But you can see the future with no required significant innovations, just minor tweaks and getting over the hump of the cost curve.
