This is spot on - reading a physical book somehow envelopes the reader just because they all look, feel, smell different. They are so much more than a different arrangement of symbols in the exact same container. There are other things too. A book can be a conversation started with a stranger , a visible store of references through post-it markers, a constant reminder to "read me!" as well. And just a thing of beauty in a shelf or table. Great piece.
