Books vs Electronic Readers

I am a book lover, have always been.  I want to thank my parents for my passion.  I was read to on a nightly basis and believe that was what made the reader I am today.  I can only hope to instill this onto our son as he grows.

 My dilemma is this: I kinda want a Kindle, but feel like I am committing treason toward my books. I then find this video of a baby not much older than my son now can work and IPad like there is no tomorrow, but does not know how to turn the pages of a magazine.  The author poses the question of wondering if books and magazine will be  extinct by the time our children are adults.  My answer is, I hope not. Sure our sonknows that our laptop is where he can watch Elmo and Cookie Monster on YouTube, but he also loves his books and knows how to turn the pages of a book.  Maybe when Jack is older he will prefere to read off of an electronic reader, but he will know what the books his mom and dad still read are.
