Availability: an unexpected advantage of real books

You know where I stand: I think the e-books are lame and that e-readers, rather than tools to enhance the experience of getting lost in a good book, are anathema to it. You may disagree and that's fine. Yet, wherever you come down on e-book technology, you've got to agree that subject of this article is surprising to say the least.

Maybe peeling our eyes from the screen, going out in the world, and using them to find an actual book on a library shelf isn't as antiquated an idea as some people seem to think it is.

As demand for e-books soars, libraries struggle to stock their virtual shelves (Washington Post)

Happy reading.
