While not (yet) trying to tap my paper books I do have a similar technological, uh, dislocation.
I have volume controls on my steering wheel and I use them a lot.
So when one of my kids says something too softly I turn up their volume (using my steering wheel buttons) and for a second I get mildly annoyed that it does not seem to work.
I know it's illogical and yet I keep doing it, at least every two weeks or so.
