I think that anyone who would bother to get a tattoo like this would use proper spelling and grammar... much like this.

No. You always spell it 4 lyfe.

This is common knowledge.

I would love to keep it real only if the person who opposes e-readers will let me store my real books at his/her house.

Ebooks don't smell!

I confess, I own an e-reader. I also own several bookshelves crammed with books, and I'm running out of space. The issue is not that I can't go to the library and check out books rather than buying them (I've been doing this a lot lately) but that a lot of my reading these days consists of scholarly journal articles. I tried printing them out and recycling them when I was done, but my desk can't hold that kind of clutter. Having an e-reader for PDFs is really pretty nice.

Doubt I'll ever read a book on one, though.

I bought an ereader for pdfs as well, but found it perfect for novels. I can get lost in an ebook reader just as easily as a paperback novel, smells and all, that there is no regret meandering a little further into the future. :P

I can no longer see or hear "motherfucker" without thinking of this guy.

But an e-reader IS books!

My mom always complains about how she can't even hold her Kindle. She says it's not made for it.

Also chopping down trees to make books in an environment where deforestation is a major issue seems silly.

Yes because real books aren't produced in factories.

What do you think the ratio of unique devices to books printed is? Which one is going to have less of an impact? Considering that a single device can hold over a thousand unique books, I'm going to say that the electronic devices are far better.
