I loved so much fried chicken I got a so badly indigestion that I don't like it anymore(my mind associated it with bad feelings, so much pain)
My grandpa gave me a book before dying, and that made that book (and to a lesser extent all books)special. My first girlfriend send me notes on a book. My family read a lot of books. I learn a lot from books, enjoyed some books a lot, and in general had good experiences with them.
But young people will have good experiences with ebooks-tablets as good as we had with books. Maybe their first girlfriends will send then furtive IM messages they will later remember later in life, whatever. They won't understand how we can use those old and stupid things that can't display movies or read text.
They will have children with different devices and we will die and nobody will use books anymore.
However, there is one huge problem with textbooks on things like an iPad, that I've already run into in other contexts, and it has nothing to do with feel, or annotation (which still sucks on an ipad): You can't have more than one book open at one time. Not multitasking in the ipad sense, but literally, two ipads. Can't do it unless you spend another $600.
My feeling is that these device are the future, but two(three) things need to happen -- you need to be able to write/draw on these just as well as you can on paper (or close to it). And they need to be dirt cheap enough that everyone has three of them handy (and can have them communicate seamlessly).
Do most people feel otherwise?
