What are Your Views on Books vs. Electronic Readers?

Amazon just launched the latest generation of wireless reader, the KindleDX. It holds up to 3,500 books, periodicals, and documents in a body that is only 1/3 of an inch thick. The cost is hefty at $489 (not including the books, of course), but Kindles are selling well. So, do electronic readers like Kindle spell the end for good old-fashioned books? Read my article called "Are Books Becoming Obsolete?".

I want to know what you think.

Question for Fiction Writers: To Journal or Not to Journal?

Most general writing books suggest journaling as a way of expressing yourself and getting into the writing mode. However, as someone who writes fiction, I think journaling minimizes the pow in my prose. If I "unload" in my journal, then there's no need to do it when I'm working on my novel.

So my question to you out there is - if you write fiction, do you find it useful or hurtful to journal?
