Guess I'm just freakish -- I still have books from when I was, oh, about 7 or so. The only way books leave my library is of their own accord. Even disintegration just elevates them to the bibliophilic nursing home.
I love my 505 -- it's got me reading again, more often. It's lighter, easier to hold upright long hours in bed.
But books have much more personality. Differences in paper, print, etc.
My late aunt and I were quite fond of the smell of books.
