Same with books. I like the feel and smell of a book, and the way the light hits the page.
I too prefer real books but was kind of hoping a tablet / e-book thing might work out as quite a useful thing to have in the tool box as you can clean off oily paw prints more easily - being able to read the information is my primary concern (with this stupid electronic thing) however.

The one thing I hate about technology is when it doesn't do what it is meant to do.

It is like buying something from Microsoft

It is like buying a Renault.
