A friend of mine and I were talking this morning about Sony's E-Reader and Amazon's Kindle. I was surprised that he wanted one. His loft style apartment is full of bookshelves, most of them completely full of books. He LOVES books. How could he want a reader?
See, I love reading but for me, it goes beyond the text. I love the smell of books. I like the sound of pages turning. I find the dog-ear folds charming. I don't know why I'm having such a weird time with this. Any other paper sentimentalists out there? |

Real books. I can't help it, there's something about reading a book that doesn't translate to the screen.
