I agree that my pros and cons are subjective personal opinion. I’m simply explaining why I haven’t invested in electronic books at this point. Others in different situations may well come to different conclusions.

As to the comparison between a codex and a tablet, the point is simply that it’s much easier for me to carry a a book with me to read in the grocery store line than it is for me to carry my tablet with me to do the same.

The codex is portable. True, a library of codices are not portable. But a codex (presuming it’s not a large reference work) can be carried almost anywhere. A laptop or tablet isn’t as portable.

The comparison is silly in of itself. Why would anyone compare *1* book to *1* computer. That entirely negates the point. Besides, I’d rather compare *1* book to *1* SD card or *1* DVD – or even *1* netbook – which would be very close to the same, particularly if the book was something like Thiselton on 1 Corinthians.

Portability is often times the *main* reason for the digital *library*. How many missionaries do you know who can afford to ship a reasonable library overseas for their work?

Granted, the majority of students don’t go into missions work anyway, but that’s not an argument against the digital library, that’s a call for more people to go overseas. The Bible doesn’t get translated by itself, you know.

The a number of your pros & cons are rather subjective personal opinion more than anything else anyway, but then, as I said, I agree with you on everything else, so I won’t discuss those points.
