Journal Question #6

The cold weather is coming, and many people love to curl up with a good book when it's cold outside.  Today, of course, you can read on digital devices - iPhone, iPad, Laptop, Kindle... - so instead of books printed on paper and bound by cloth covers, you have your personal device and turn on your ebook.  What's your opinion of ebooks and digital reading compared to traditional paper, cloth and ink books?  What are some advantages and disadvantages of both types of reading?  Of course, maybe you don't read anyway so you don't care one way or another!  Share your thoughts.
