I just don’t “get” the new Kindle ebook reader, REGARDLESS of how good it is.
A huge part of the reading experience, for me, is tactile – touching and moving pages, writing on them, folding them. In short, I love the physical presence and look of books.
But, just as I don’t “get” the almost-total obsession teenagers have with MySpace and FaceBook, I may be a fossil.
Thoughts, anyone?
