I like turning physical pages as opposed to swiping a finger or clicking a button. I enjoy seeing my book mark work its way through the depth of the novel as a sense of accomplishment. For me the ritual is almost as important as the content.

I agree with this. No denying the convenience of a kindle. But The feel of a book will be missed in the future, at least by me... especially Hardcovers. I would say even the smell of a new book is part of the experience... Sadly as digital media becomes the norm the thought of experiencing a book this way will become as foreign as the idea of phoning someone, letting it ring 7 times and then simply hanging up okay in the knowledge that they are not home and you have absolutely no way to contact them at this moment.
