You can have this book when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers

You may be happy to hear that book lovers aren't ready to give up the paper editions of their books any time soon. Of course, we knew that all along, didn't we?! Check out this post on ars technica entitled Book lovers have emotional bond with paper.

According to the research, sponsored by UK media lawyers Wiggin, survey data shows books have the highest "attachment" rating of any leisure media activity. People are more attached to their books than they are to their satellite television, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, social networks, video games, blogs, DVDs, and P2P file-swapping. And it's not like this high rate of affection for the book occurs only among a small group; books came in second only to "listen to the radio" in terms of the number of people who engage in those activities.

What's your opinion? Eager to try out ebooks or will you be hanging onto your books until they have to pry them away?
