Maybe its just the fact that as a teenager, I had to watch what I bought and carefully read through opinions on the net before I bought a book. Maybe its just that a brand new book (or a well kept old one at that) has a smell I miss in an ebook.

I still end up going to my local bookstore and buying books which I love, even if I own their ebook versions.
I think one of those special somethings was I could hold the book in any darn position so long as the page was facing me in a somewhat upright position to my face. I didn't have to make sure a thumb was near a little button. I didn't need to worry about smudging a screen. I didn't need to worry about breaking said screen.
