On The Continuing Need for Paper Books
You lease Kindle books – you don't own your copies. You can't sell them as used, give them away, or will them to your children. You can't even move them between your own accounts. Amazon can take them away or put them out of print whenever it wants to. Future researchers who wonder what was in your library are will only be able to wonder. You can't copy pages from them, even for fair use. I don't want to hear how unnecessary print books are until I can actually own my own copies of ebooks.
