There are things like that which are unique to a physical book that an electronic gizmo can't replace.

Agreed. But I'm already used to all my other electronic gizmos. The only one I drop is my phone (all the f'ing time). Books are typically read sitting down and with two hands. phones and ipods and other devices are toted around and used while in motion.
But you do bring up a good point. I'd sure be choked if I dropped my ebook and lost a bunch of books I paid for. I wonder how licensing would work for these books. If they're only good on one device, how do you upload your stuff to a new device in the event you damage, destroy or upgrade your hardware?
