Subject: Laptops and textbooks

The amount of passion stirred by this debate is indicative of healthy interest, but how open-minded are people being? Some things--searching and hyperlinking--laptops clearly do better. Some things (at least until prices drop and technology improves--paper (i.e., texts) clearly do better--cost for paperback books, ease of making short marginal notes, portability to beach to do English reading, for instance, without worrying about destroying a $1500 laptop!

Why is this being cast by so many as an either/or situation?
