Marco Arment on books

Marco Arment:

Many people romanticize the experience of reading a printed book, but I just don’t get it.

I too don't get it. Friends describe to me the texture, the smell, the physical experience of holding a book, the act of turning pages.

For me the pleasure of a book is in the words. The picture I create from those words. The story being told.
