Kindle vs. the book

So in the last week or so my Twitter feed has been filled with 'Kindle vs. the book' debates, do e-books signal the end of tangible, hard copy books? I'm not sure why we have to choose. I love reading the back cover, flicking through pages, a book falling open to my favourite part. But I also love being able to throw my Kindle in my bag, like I do my Ipod, being able to read it anywhere, any time, and take as many books as I want on holiday without needing to take an extra case.

So I'd like to keep both please!
