When I heard that people were actually buying into the e-book craze, I scoffed. I presented the obvious argument – “I want to feel the cover, hear the ruffle of pages, smell the papery essence, track my progress with my trusty bookmark…(edited for length – ffw 20 minutes)…and I will NEVER get an e-reader, the end!”
You see I’ve loved reading – and thus books – ever since I was swept into novels like The Hobbit, Anne of Green Gables and ok, the occasional Baby Sitters’ Club or Goosebumps. So I have a stubborn preference for the tangible, the non-battery powered, and the traditional and trusty format based on years of experience. You don’t come out of college with a degree in English Lit and Lang not caring about literature (encased in real paper). For years all I ever had to decide was hardback or paper back? And maybe every once in awhile (let’s admit it) which cover is cooler?
