[QUOTE="Amelie, post: 832177, member: 1287"] We have been having a convo about this round our gaff loads. I just can't do it me. I am a massive reader and for me a book is like a record. Sure, there are 'easier' or quicker/cheaper ways of getting the same thing, but is it really the same thing. A good book in a full on experience imho. I like to touch it, stretch the spine and hear it crack, smell the musty pages. I love the way i carry a book i am reading at the mo around, from room to room on the off chance i might sly a page in. I love getting well -read and appreciated books off a shelf years later and knowing the crinkly pages came from some long bath with candles where i was that enthralled by the story i sat till the water was cold and i had wrinkly new born skin. Or the way a big crumb of something, pressed tightly in-between pages gives a clue to some hurridiely made butty devoured whilst lost in another world. I could just never get that with Kindle. The same way as there is some kind of ceremony attached to pulling a record out of it's sleeve and listening to the sounds it produces, so is there to opening a book and getting sucked in to the story that is told in those rough papery pages. :) [/QUOTE]
