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.

You and Captain James Tiberius Kirk . . . . . your words famously uttered by the latter in a Star Trek episode in the mid to late 1960's.
I probably have more than a thousand books - easily - in my house and I'm hoping to live at least another 30 years . . . . . so, its either give them away, use an e-reader or look like a hoarder with all the new ones I'll have stacked to the ceiling.
My Kindle is rather fantastic. And I'm a guy sitting on books and comics I bought in the 1960's. There's just a limit with the physical and virtually none with the virtual.
Technology has certainly rendered my eight-track player irrelevant. I learned from that.
Time passes. Poop happens.
