For one, electronic books chain you to a desktop and from there to your

whether you have paid your electric bill or not.
So what? The desktop is where everything happens in the modern world.
There is no way to escape the desktop.
The only electronic choice you have is really with the desktop, and it
may not look like it but it is as big as the whole power grid in your
region.
If the power grid were to ever fail, permanently, then that would
indicate that civilization itself was failing. It wouldn't just
be the power grid, but also the natural gas lines, the food supply,
the medical supply, etc., etc. One would be fucked from all
directions. There would be no time for books. All effort would
be directed toward keeping your jealous neighbors from ransacking
you property.
But civilization will not fail. I have faith that the power will
always be available and I will be comfortable with my e-books at my
desktop.
