At last I get to hold some
Books!! Real Books! I can actually get to hold a book, feel it and snuggle with
it in my bed, and ponder the words.
I am a lover of technology but
never that of digital books. This doesn’t mean I don’t read e-books; actually those
were the only thing could get hold off for last few months. But I love that unique
feel, experience, pleasure and happiness of cracking open an actual book. The
joy of holding a new book in your hands and discoveries made with each page
turned. Paper books just feel good in your hands - even the best designed e-Reader
is a cold, lifeless steel contraption by comparison. Paper books are also seen
as more personal.
Only with a paper book you are
able to skim through the pages until you find the sentence or quote you were
searching and could actually highlight them. Even digitally you can highlight,
but I hate it,
As someone said, "If I
"buy" an e-book, read it, put it in storage, and try to re-read it in
10 years (since I "own" it) it's anybody's guess whether there will
exist a platform or device on which that will be possible for that particular
e-book format and DRM scheme." So you have to get a new e-book or OS to
read again.
And you don’t get to wander in book stores
when in the digital world. It’s the
ambiance and warmth of the place where I’d lose myself in the stacks of great
literature. Nothing can replace the hours spend in a book store just wandering
around picking up books with compelling cover art and reading the prologue.
For me it’s always a joy getting
hold of a book. So looking forward to travel to the world of words!
P.S. God get me some spare time,
Please…!!!
God Blez.
