But in terms of eBooks vs. pBooks, an eBook is just another way to read the same content. And yes, my 505 can feel colder then a paperback. But, a hardcover can also feel cold too due to the paper used for the sleeve.
You missed my point. Vinyl might sound better and p-books might feel better, but these advantages are dwarfed by the convenience of digital music and ebooks. Also, I think the author meant "warm" metaphorically. I doubt he was referring to the actual temperature of the medium.
