I'm willing to give them the presumption that e-book sales have fallen. But the arguments proposed seem to have nothing to do with the why of it.

How has the reading experience of your average, bog-standard paperback fiction book changed? That's a feature, not a bug.

Another thing that has happened is that books have become celebrated again as objects of beauty. They are coveted in their own right, while ebooks, which are not things of beauty, have become more expensive; a new digital fiction release is often only a pound or two cheaper than a hardback.

That argument always falls flat with me. It assumes that every book purchased is an antique edition of a Henry James literary classic.
Does a beaten-up paperback copy of Fifty Shades of Grey, or the latest James Patterson hard cover have any more beauty than a Kindle Oasis in its cover?
