This. I want a book, not a glorified video game, not gimmicky badges, not "interactive" crap, not "embedded magical genies"... and no big brother, and I don't want to bug all my facebook friends.

Just because I push a button on a device doesn't mean I want it to sing and dance. I want to read, just like on paper.

I am cool with the technological advances. I mean I own an e-reader (although not a cell phone or tv or car). But if the technological advances mean my introverted bubble of personal activity becomes a "social" thing, watch me run the other way screaming.

Good thing my guitar and knitting needles are all analog
