The only initial feeling I lost with my ereader was being able to feel how far through the book you were. When reading a paperback you can sense how much longer you have until the end, on the ereader you don't have that feeling only page numbers to go by. By the end of my second reading session I was over it though - so part of me understands missing the feel of a paperback.

BUT on the huge upside, no more trying to struggle holding large/thick/heavy novels. Every book, whether it be 200 pages or 1000 pages all weight and feel the same with an ereader.
