I read Ebooks.  Do you?  I also read hard-copy books as well as magazines and website articles.  I don't think people 'get it' when in comes to ebooks. My Sony Reader goes everywhere with me... as does my cell phone and Palm TX.  They are tools just like my laptop and desktop are. Or a notepad and pen.

My Sony Reader can be loaded with a couple hundred books at any one time.  I don't absolutely NEED the reader to read a book.  I have a large bookcase filled with dead trees that I can peruse at any time.  I keep tech manuals in hard copy for reference, in PDF on the Laptop for quick searches and on the reader just in case I want to refresh my memory while waiting on the wife at the mall.   I don't believe the printed medium is dead.  It may not be as dominant as it was, but a newspaper is an easy, quick casual read when you are in a waiting room.  Hard cover books seem to 'feel' more relaxing on the beach than their digital counterparts.  A purely psychological affect, but it's there none the less.  Different formats have different uses.

Exactly how many 'paperless' offices really exist?   Sure we have the capability, but not the desire.  Our weekly management meetings are littered with printed copies of the meeting minutes from the last.  We could easily use Ipads or netbooks to review minutes and take notes, but we don't. Nor do many of our counterparts in other companies.  It's just simpler to scratch a note in the margin of a printed Word doc as a reminder of a conversation.  We record the video conference but people rarely review it.  It's quicker to scan through the notes you folded and placed beside the phone on your desk.  

Yes, technology is wonderful and has afforded us many opportunities to quickly communicate or digitally log and record life, but regardless of technology items like printed books, sticky notes and magazines will still be a part of our lives for some time to come.  Their rolls may change, but I don't believe they will vanish in my lifetime.
