I get the joke, but that highlights something I value in books: their physicality chimes well with my ways of thinking. Sometimes I <i>can</i> only remember that a book was blue, and will wander my shelves looking at blue books until I find it.<p>Likewise I can remember the bit I&#x27;m looking for was on the bottom left of a page with a big picture on it, and will scan through the book till I get to it.<p>Both things I lose with eBooks; though of course there are plenty of other compensations.
