Glad to read this quote from Carl Sagan:
“A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic . . . It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years.”
It goes without saying that I've been doing most of my reading in my Kindle (I named it John Ames—one has to during device registration) because of storage limitations where I live. I still read paperbacks, especially old ones, because I like how they smell.

Hmm, that gets me curious about the reading experience. It doesn't look like it would be easy to turn the pages with the same hand as the one holding it though. And it looks rather awkward to hold---might need larger left margins.
