Today I was in a bookstore and finally noticed what has happened to me.
I still like to look at books and hold them in my hands. I like the covers, I like the size and the weight, and I like the manufacturing act to produce them.
BUT - I couldn't get myself to open one and browse it or touch the paper. Holding a book is one thing. Reading it on a reading device something totally different. The next page is just one click away, and I can change to another title whenever I want.
Maybe I'll build a book dummy one of these days and store my reading device in it.
