Can you imagine what it would ave been like if there had been a blogosphere when documents shifted from rolls to bound books? All the debate about whether the hard covers would be comfortable to hold for long periods, whether the division into separate pages would interrupt the reading experience and lose the immersion. Is it worth the cost of replacing all the pigeonholes in which you keep the scrolls with these new-fangled 'shelves'?

And then printing? Who wants to read the mechanically produced printged version and lose the pleasure of well-executed calligraphy?

I love books - the look and the feel of them. But I love the content, and I want to get to the content wherever I am.
