I've heard it said that people remember media not for it's fidelity, but for it's flaws.
I've come to appreciate over the last several years that seeming imperfections often improve a medium in ways that are difficult to quantify or to convey. For instance I've noticed it's much more comfortable for me to read eink than to read from an LCD, and I think it may be because the eink has imperfections. I think the balls don't always rotate, and it creates a subtle noise texture in the background.
It reminds me of comfort noise that's played on telephone systems.
