Posting this link might fuel the SOL is against e-books rumors, but here is a wonderful essay that raises some interesting points. Andre Vltchek's "In Defense of Paper Books" provides some food for thought. Here's the link:

Excellent article and thanks for linking to it! It could just as easily be titled, "The Tyranny of E-media." Andre Vltchek does a great job showing how easily information is supressed in electronic form. Doubt it? Look at the recent flap about the censoring of Twitter messages on a country by country basis (AP, last week). All freedom-loving people should read this article!
