Paper books for me are a universally superior product, they require no battery, don&#x27;t feature update popups, wifi conncetions, eInk artifacts on page turns, accidental touchscreen events, inflexibility preventing storage in an inside jacket pocket, ...<p>I could go on.<p>And despite all that, they&#x27;re priced as if they&#x27;re in some way equivalent to the real deal. I&#x27;ve tried and failed to make the jump via Kindle and Kobo, and until such times as pricing on the major stores reflects the eBook&#x27;s status as an inferior, vastly cheaper to produce knockoff of the real deal, I won&#x27;t be tempted to buy any more ebooks (the price difference should be closer to 50%, not 15%)<p>Another aspect as an IT guy is that my ability to relax and focus when holding a <i>computer</i> is vastly reduced over a paper book. The limitations of paper books in that sense are actually a feature. I can&#x27;t search, bookmark (without folding a paper page corner), &#x27;browse&#x27;, play with some half-baked eInk web browser, switch book etc., all of which are real focus problems I suffer from.
