I love how she speaks with such love and admiration for books.

Hard copy is a full-on sensory experience.

It definitely is. And this ability to be so connected with print is what makes up the majority of why I love print as opposed to digital.

Paper, because it is real, provides an organic connection to our natural world: The tree from whence the paper came; the sun, water and soil that nourished the tree. By contrast, a digital device is alien, man-made, hard and cold to human flesh.

Too true. It seems that as we "progress" technologically, we are just distancing ourselves more and more from the natural world and the shift towards digital media is just continuing this trend.

Everything at the click of a button has made it less likely that we’ll take the trouble to exchange pleasantries with a fellow human.

And aren't the pleasantries with fellow humans what makes life worth living? What makes one day different from the next? What makes us us and others themselves? I don't want to live in a world where I could go a day without physically in the presence of another.
