Digitalization and disembodiment per se do not decrease my contentment. After all, touching and holding an great piece of engineering that is a computer or a phone is not that different from touching and enjoying any other physical object. It's the ease with which digitalization and disembodiment open avenues for eroding my ownership of things and for making my things actively work against me that decrease my contentment. Kindle is a great example. I like the hardware, I love being able to haul a lot of books around and not break my back, but I loathe Store UI part that is being pushed to me all the time.
