I done been blogging again.

I talked about books – ebook vs dead-tree and coffee

One day I'll work out how to automagically cross-post to here from there. In the meantime, if you'd be so kind as to do the clicky thing? There are footnotes and everything.

this is me:

The other thing I’ve found is that I missed reading a ‘proper’ book. Knowing how much you had left to read by the ever-decreasing pile of pages under your right thumb. Sorry Amazon, but a ‘percentage read’ just doesn’t give you the same feel. The ability to flick back a few pages to refresh your memory on a scene or plot point – again, the Kindle lets you do that, but frankly, it’s a faff.

And also there’s something just brilliant about holding and reading a physical book. The tactile sensation of flicking through the pages, or peeling back the covers on an unread book is something I don’t ever want to be without.
