I think there will never be a app that can replace the real world of real books.

Nostalgia is a deceiving lover.
Yes, I miss browsing a bookstore, or the occasional good advice from the bookstore-owner, or the look, the smell of books. Or the pleasure of having a nice, well-organized library.
Do I miss waiting for books? Carrying them around? Paying for an old classic? Not being able to find notes or highlights? Having to choose which books to travel with, or go on vacation? Dealing with small fonts?
Of course, not.
