The Joy of Actual Books

Kamni Khan posts an ode to actual, physical books. Among other thoughts, Khan imagines if the books in The Reader were replaced by a Kindle:

Would Michael use it in the tub? It’s not waterproof, so there’s a high probability of damaging it. Would Hanna throw it to the floor in a rage of passion, right before another lovemaking encounter? Highly unlikely! The breakable Kindle, as we all know, comes at a hefty retail price. Hanna wouldn’t ask Michael where he got a particular book; the answer would always be Amazon.com.
