I think it's a case of ebooks all the way for me now, yet I still miss paper books. I still enjoy seeing a stack of paper books, picking one up, feeling the texture of the pages and the page cuts, smelling newly bought books, looking at some of the beautiful and thought-inspiring covers out there.

Then I actually start reading a paper book and the novelty quickly wears off. Usually heavier, needs both hands, sometimes dusty. Really, I'm fully convinced of the convenience of ebooks, and I still miss the aesthetics of paper books, yet once I start reading a paper book, I can't help but compare it to the ebook experience.

I'm such a fickle person.
