Books.
Still a fan of the dead-tree variety. It's not so much paper vs e-ink, more that every new book is a new physical object with its own size, shape, weight and (sometimes) smell.
- jmhobbs 16y agoOh, the smell. I love the smell of really new books, and I love the smell of really old ones.
- srv 16y agoI absolutely love everything book-related, and have for a long, long time. But as you say, each book is an item with its own size, shape and weight. Having to pack the thousands of them I have amassed for moving has lead me to finally getting a Kindle.
- kranner 16y agoI know what you mean having suffered the same issue multiple times. But if I'm going to spend quality time with a book, I still think it worthwhile to purchase the physical version. The digital version is good for archival and portability, but the first time through a good book feels like it should be with its most authentic representation.
