I know this is a little of topic, but Vince’s new book is out tomorrow!

Just thought you would want to know :)

Personally, I like to get away to books because it let’s me get away from the screen. There’s a different feeling to looking at a piece of paper than looking at a screen. I find much more comfort and ease in paper. I don’t know if the new devices provide the same feel, if they ever will.

Also, the technology of books is better in many ways than the digital counterparts. They don’t have batteries, they don’t cost much, they’re highly resilient to shocks or being dropped from any height really. So you’re not afraid to carry them around wherever you go.

Actually, I like it that books are not linked anywhere! They let you concentrate on only reading them rather than going off to spend your time in Wikipedia or reading email yet again, only to find out that too much time has gone by.

The ultimate technology would be a real paper book that’s completely blank with an Internet connection. You’ll be able to download content into it which would fill it up with proper print almost magically. We’re probably a long way from that.

BTW, you kind of contradict yourself in the real world. I’ve seen you print out much stuff while we were working together instead of settling for the digital versions. If digital reading is so great, why did you do that?
