Like many avid readers, I love to hold a book in my hands, feel its weight, and turn the crisp pages. To me, this – along with a stellar story - makes for a perfect experience. But the days of physical books are waning, and technology is pushing us to quickly adopt eBooks that can be read on e-readers and tablets. And yes, even I resisted this trend. In fact, I avoided turning on my first e-reader until months after I had received it as a gift.

But now I'll admit; while tablets and e-readers may never fully replace the experience of reading actual books, they are convenient, lightweight, and offer direct access to a vast digital library.
