Another reason we need to keep hard copies of literature. I'm convinced that if everything is moved to electronic copies, they'll be rewritten. Tucker alluded to this, too.
Just finished a re-read of Vance Packard's "Hidden Persuaders" in ebook format. The last time I read it, it was the 1980(?) printing, in paperback. There were a few things in it that I was expecting to see that weren't there and now I'm not sure if I was thinking of a different book or if things were dropped out for some reason.
The weird thing is that the things I think were missing weren't very important overall, just three small things that certainly didn't affect the rest of the content. But it means I'm going to have to keep an eye out for an old copy of it (and good luck with me finding a paperback from the 80s!)

Oh, great! Thanks for finding that!
