E-book bullits

Will the printed book disappear? Here are my bullits:

• During many years I wanted to own every book I read. Since I was an enthousiastic reader, I owned many books.
• For instance I used to have nearly complete collections of work of Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Vance, Larry Niven, Philip Jose Farmer, Simon Vestdijk, Asimov, van Vogt, Varley, Fay Weldon and so on. I lived alone, and my house contained an ever growing number of Ikea's Billy's.
• Recently this changed. I now live in a much larger house, with more rooms, but with less walls to place a book case. I also grew a little "blase": many books appear to be boring after 50 pages or so.
• There is also the problem of the limited amount of luggage to take with you on a plane: there were times I finished the first book before the plane reached its destination.
• It seems the e-book will solve all this. Last summer I managed to read " Flatland" using the very small screen of my GSM. Not the most ideal e-reader. Nevertheless I enjoyed reading about the adventures of A Square. These days I own a mobile phone with a screen resolution of 800 by 480!
• Of course e-readers are just beginning to emerge; they are slow, expensive and limited to 4 or at most 16 shades of black. But it is a start.
• An e-reader can't give you the same sensations as a printed book; the smell and feeling of my first Jack Vance are unique and can't be copied. However now I am aware of the possibility to put 10.000 scifi pdf's on a 8GB SD card.

For me the printed book is history!

ps BullITs are bullets vaguely related to IT.
