Gutenberg tried to make his printed books look like hand written manuscripts, so they could reside next to the hand written manuscripts of the time.

We are trying to make our ebooks more paper like so they can be accepted along side the paper books of today.

There's a parallel here.



The only downsides to ebooks are: (1) ridiculous DRM that forbids me from selling used books, and (2) possible failure during (for example) power outages.

I said possible, not probable.
