Correct. As mcav mentioned scanning books is very complicated -- way more effort than I'm willing to spend.

And even if I could, I don't think I would. I like the feel of books in my hands.

I also like the feel of books and the easy way to mark stuff with a pencil. What I hate, though, is the weight of the books and the hassle to store them, to transport them on a daily basis (student), move them from city to city with airline luggage limits. Erases all the love I had for the convenience when reading.
