Technology Can't Replace The Joy Of Books
I like books. I like owning them. I like reading them. And re-reading them. They're joys to have. Books are bound to be immortal treasures. Digitizing them is cool and nice and stuffs. But nothing beats the pleasure of experiencing books in print, hardbound, paperback and all.
The smell of a new book is distinctively fresh. It's like that unique whiff of inside a brand new car. Or a brand new house. Opening the book for the first time releases the freshest scent of paper from the mill. The look and feel of the covers are like touching and holding art. Each turn of the page releases a satisfying paper crunch, like that gentle crackling from playing a classic vinyl record. The texture of the paper, page after page... You just got to love it.
These experiences, hitting all the senses, can never be replaced by digital books. More so by audio books. Prints are always the best way to enjoy a book. They can set the mood like no digital book can. And the best part: printed books never run out of power. They're always "on" and ready for you. You own them. You can touch them. Lift them. Feel them.
If you've been reading e-books, or been listening to audio books, give prints a try... again. You'll remember how good it feels. It's not just about finishing it. It's about the total experience. How it triggers the senses, from cover to cover. You'll remember how it can make a good book even better.
