I never understood what sensual pleasure a physical book gives you, and I'm a big big reader of books.

It could be that I have no psychological anchors like your grandfather gift, your lovers notes and so on some people have. Some people love sniffing the glue and the ink chemicals too.

Quite the contrary, I love books content, not continent.

I hate having to "break" a book for reading it because otherwise you won't have uniform lighting on the page, in fact you never have in a book.

I hate having to sustain the weight of a big novel.

I hate having to wash my hands because it gets dirty with the poisonous ink.

I hate having to carry around tons of books when I move.

I hate not being able to change the font size or the format in shorter lines so I could speed read it better.

So I started digitalizing my library long ago, and I'm not going back, I'm not the only one.

I met a man 10 years ago that had 1000 digitalized books library, I remember being socked when he showed me. Now more and more people are doing that and is quite normal to see.
