Awesome birthday present! And just wait til winter – your wife is going to love having blanket-warmed hands while she’s got her nose in a book…

Thanks for mentioning the book seat. I got one for my wife (for her birthday) based on your recommendation, and she loves it!

Great analogy, Lisette.

While I’m all for digital publishing – all those new media opportunities for writers! – I wonder if literarture connoisseurs can appreciate the subtle difference in texture between a book-on-paper and its digital twin, in the same way music lovers can detect the contrast between analogue and digital sound recordings…

I love this post! Gee, I could really do with a book seat AAAAAND a thumb thing. And be still my beating heart! The Mists of Avalon? I was given a copy that unfortunately was torn apart from a beastly puppy. Luckily, I had finished reading it.

I think I will still read books, even if digital publishing takes off…. in the same way people play vinyl, in the face of MP3.
