And let us be reminded of the government in Fahrenheit 451. No books allowed-everyday someone, somewhere is offended by some book and demands its removal. I maybe probably eventually will hug an e book reader but will always love turning the pages of a paper book in anticipation of the next chapter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494398841538671327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16743003.post-33834906258437445782007-05-11T03:56:00.000-07:002007-05-11T03:56:00.000-07:00B.E.: I well understand the tactile experience of...B.E.: I well understand the tactile experience of reading a book.

I like books I...Personally, I'm not into debating. I like books I can hold in my hand. I like the feeling of them, and the smell, and the sound of the pages as I read. I don't get the same overall sensory experience with reading a digital book. *shrug* But if someone prefers digital to print? That's their choice to make, not mine. And not anyone else's. Sheesh. I'll be sad if they stop printing books in my lifetime, but if they do, there will still be millions of books floating around in the world for me to hold... and to hoard.<BR/><BR/>As long as people NEVER stop reading or writing books. That would be the real tragedy.B.E. Sandersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336115135400388268noreply@blogger.com
