Every electronic device currently useable as a text-reader is less durable than any book. All of us are daintily protective of our tech-gadgets in a way that one needn't be with a print book. This will be dismissed as a minor issue by those whose interests are served by an all-digital future, but for people wanting to read a book without worrying about breaking it or losing it, the difference is significant, and will quietly and subtly influence their buying decision. Books on paper are going to be with us for a very long time. The ‘abuse’ issue is not an insignificant one. Every electronic device currently useable as a text-reader is less durable than any book.
