Fortunately for me, I got over it.
OK, sorry...  As you were.

I'm fine with HD, but 3D? That's too much for me. Don't like it, don't want it.
The thing about physical books is not the smell or the feel per se. It's that the books is an object with a history. Maybe there's an inscription from a person who gave it to you, or an author's autograph. Maybe the pages with your favorite passages are folded down, or there's a letter tucked inside that you once used as a bookmark. Maybe there's a note or a phone number penciled in the margin. Maybe there's a tearstain, or a mark from a child's jelly-stained fingers. It's all part of the thing that is a book, and it's all missing from a digital file.
The book is more than just the words therein.
