I know the words contained are the same in the eBook. I know the experience will be the same, and yet somehow, the printed book makes it all different. It isn't different, but it feels different. And I will always prefer a printed book for those special books that I plan to keep forever.
I know why eBooks are so popular: price, convenience, and being good servants of the earth. I try to be a good keeper of the earth. There's even a bleed in my print books to spare a tree, be good to the earth, to donate or share my books. But there is still nothing like a printed book. I only indulge the preference with "special" books. The ones I'm really excited about reading. The ones I know will rest on my shelf in my forever library. I still have the first novel I ever read. I've got a wonderful collection of favorites with them. But my Kindle library is where most books go today.
