I think the experiences of shopping for books, owning books, and reading books just aren’t the same without those tiny differences in font, paper quality and type, and cover design. I even have a problem with the Advanced Readers Copies I get from work (at a bookstore) because they almost all have the same font and layout so none of them have any personality. I think a big part of falling in love with a book is the relationship you have with it on a physical level. I’ll have to stick with my good old fashioned physical book for now, but I definitely think the Kindle has promise.
I completely agree with you. I do miss the character of reading from a book. Although, for a book I’m only reading with half intetested curiosity and not having to carry a heavy book on a plane, I’m loving the Kindle. But I will never give up my hard cover books when it comes to something I’m really into reading.

Out with the family at Cavanaugh’s having my new drink, The Cran Marnier. (cranberry juice and Grand Marnier). Friendly couple at the bar coined the name.
