Missing Physical Books? CDs?
Here is an interesting opinion piece about missing physical books, from someone who has read over 800 books on an iPad.

I know what this is like. The physical reminder of the book has value, for sure. Actually, I feel it even more acutely with CDs. Mine are in the basement now, and I listen solely to MP3s on our iMac. But though discovery is in one way easier (I can put my whole collection on random, which blows my mind) rediscovering albums is more difficult, because I can't casually browse the stacks of CDs while I eat, like I used to. The reason I say it's even more acute is because I don't often re-read books, but of course music you return to many times over.
