We are one Carrington Event (a severe solar storm) away from losing our electrical infrastructure. All our underground resources (oil, minerals) are finite. Just because we have e-book readers now doesn't mean we will always have the means to support this technology. Paper books are more durable and reproducible, as well as more recyclable than electronic readers. Don't get me wrong; there's a place for both forms of reading material. Let's just not be short-sighted.
