[Katsunami]

Some time ago, I felt the same as you do, with regard to ebooks *and* real books. I'd always think: "Ditch that stuff. Gimme the book itself and nothing more."

Now, however, strangely enough, I like all that stuff. It makes the (e)book feel like a real book instead of some sheets of text stuck between two covers and stapled together, or a flat text file with a cover slapped on the front of it.

The "More works by this author" often gives me reading suggestions, and when reading in a shared universe, new authors also.
