Funny. I always run into issues of glare under florescent lighting with the iPad and it drives me nuts. And no matter how long I use the Kindle, I can't stop noticing the distracting flash between pages. On the flipside, searching and highlighting is advantageous with ebooks, which is why I've primarily used them with reference books.

The parts on distribution of weight make perfect sense to me, especially when I compare that experience of sensing place to the experience of sensing place in, say, the New York Times iPad app.
- technoslut 15y agoAs someone who was a former book enthusiast who now owns an iPad, I also miss the appreciation of the binding of hard books, how the pages felt and the musty smell. I think the iPad is great but the part of the atmosphere of a good book is gone even though digital is desperate in the attempt to replicate it.
