They have smelled the coffee and awakened to the 21st century. Ebooks are the wave of the future. They will eventually be the primary media whether we like it or not. As much as I love my paperbacks, the tree-huggers will eventually make paper books a thing of the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love ebooks, too.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just that I currently don&#8217;t own (and can&#8217;t afford) an ebook reader or one of those fancy digital devices like a Palm Pilot or iPhone that will read them. I read\u00a0ebooks on my laptop, and that works fine at home, but it&#8217;s a hassle to try and take it with you. Paperbacks are far more portable. <\/span> <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;top:-9567px;left:-4750px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.roomorama.com\/download-water-for-elephants\">water for elephants movie in high quality<\/a><\/div>\n<p>  <u style=\"display:none\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bats.org.au\/?clerks_ii\">Clerks II move<\/a><\/u> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Anyway, if the &#8220;powers that be&#8221; of the publishing world have finally gotten with the program, that&#8217;s a good thing for epublished authors and fans of ebooks.
