With the right screen I would choose electronic format every time (but no encrypted e-books for me please). Too bad that the right screen has yet to be made, I just don't having to hold a heavy book or a cheap paperback that doesn't hold very long.
"And, as someone else pointed out, you can always choose to not accept the GPL and not use GPL'd software."
You can aslo use GPL'd software and not accept the GPL, you only have to care about the GPL when you are distributing the software. That is one of the good points about GPL, it's NOT an EULA.

Linux would have 20 years to go from now to make an actual OS if there would be no GNU project.
