Well said, polbit. I agree 100%
I do most of my reading on Kindle and computer screens, but there will always be a place in my heart for paper books. Especially ones I will read more than once. I made it a point to buy Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Sherlock Holmes in hardcover.
It is not a better reading experience. In some ways, it is worse. But in all ways, it is more tactile and more sensory-rich. I still like paper books and will lament they day they start to disappear.
The thing a lot of people here forget in their honeymooning period is that we don't have to choose. We can have both!
