Zach (soxp_) I really like books. I've read about 5 novels now on my touchpad with my kindle app and without a doubt they are awesome. Without a doubt they have changed they way I read.

There's something personnel about having a real book in your hand.

Call me crazy but its like holding an entire universe in your own hands.
it's unprecedented. There is a certain amount of disconnect that comes from a ebook. The font is formatted for one. I like when a book captures me in its snare and its a real book not the same device I that I do my other networking on.

I've read more in my recent years than ever, no doubt because of my ability to download an entire novel in seconds to my tablet but real books have a feel, a smell of certainty. A sense of completion to them. It's just different. I can't explain it.

Zach (soxp_) sorry, I didn't know there was a thread like this was already up. Just had a moment and needed it to spread
