10 reasons why Kindle or iPad will never replace the BOOK

1. Electronic books don't have flaps to open
2. Electronic books don't have pop ups
3. Electronic books don't have a bunny to pat, daddy's face to scratch, and won't squeak when you punch it.
4. Electronic books don't have a smell
5. Electronic books won't survive a toddler throwing it off his chair, repeatedly.
6. You can't build forts with electronic books.
7. You can't stack electronic books and use it as a booster chair.
8. You will never have 300 electronic books on your shelf with colorful spines greeting you as you walk past your own library.
9. You won't learn the craft of taping pictures back together with scotch tape on an electronic book.
10. When you are trapped on the subway and you run out of batteries on your electronic book, and your child is screaming from boredom, you can take out a BOOK and he will immediately be soothed.
