I am totally against e-books replacing real books. Agreed, e-books do have their advantages, but, are you telling me that the next generation will not get to feel the crisp paper in their hands, and will not be able to smell the fragrance of the pages, and they wont be feeling the excitement of opening a new book and reading it from the first page? Are you telling me that the next generation will go to museums to see what a real book looks like? This is complete blasphemy! How can you replace something which has been man's best friend for more than a thousand years, with something that has just come in because of technology?! Infact, I try to avoid e-books as they don't give me the thrill of getting a book, and reading it from the starting. It doesn't give me the experience of turning the pages and the experience of closing the book for the last time when it is finished. Are you telling me, that people will close books with the push of buttons?
I know there will be very less people opposing e-books. And, I am one of them. But, even if the e-books replace the real books, they wont be able to give the feel and excitement of a book. A person wont enjoy a text to its full extent in an e-book. E-books will never be able to remove the traces of real and true books.
