Can't give up the paper

Post by ebarnard_10 »

How does one transition from a hardcore paper book fanatic to using an electronic book reader? I'm having a difficult time with it because I know e-readers save money, trees, and are convenient, but I cannot get around the fact that I'm not holding a book or turning real pages. Help me understand.

As much as I enjoy the flexibility that e-books give me in transporting, price, and convenience, I just can't seem to shake the anticipation of turning the paper gives me. I have mostly made the transition out of need for space in my apartment, but still I occasionally check out books from the library to get my paper book fix.
