It's funny how much that trophy means to me. I'm sure we've had this conversation before, and I don't mean Hubski, but literally me and you, but don't you miss the physicality and individual nature of the "book?" Does the Kindle Touch compensate for this? I know we could go back and forth on the virtues of books, the sensory advantages of the nostalgic etc. But as someone that hasn't taken the plunge, do the advantages far outweigh the loss of what can seem like such an old familiar friend?
