The only people that honestly think that newspapers are “quickly” disappearing are those that never read them in the first place or simply read their local offering that see as the be all and end all of news and information. Yes, some newspapers have gone under but many more continue to exist and have piles of loyal readers all over the country. Lovers of newspapers, wherever they may live, will continue to flock to the New York Times as if it is the holy grail. The search for the Times continues in small towns across the country by those looking to get a dose of real world news that goes beyond church updates and sportsballing information.

Another group of people say that there is nothing like the feel and smell of an actual book. I agree with this wholeheartedly. However, a true lover of reading cannot push themselves away from eReaders as if they were the work of the devil. When you are stationary or not traveling far it is easy to have real books around you at all times. If traveling long distances, it is simply impractical to take what you may want to read with you in the form of a real book. This is where the eReader comes into play. How else can a reader take 32 books with them to Costa Rica? Both real and electronic books have their place and one should not and will replace the other anytime soon.
