Why I’d Still Choose Paper Books Over Digital Books, by Nancy Perkins, October 16, 2012.

  • “I love used books because you never know what you’ll find inside. Aside from a well-crafted tale (and the rare author/illustrator signature), you can discover another person’s thoughts and bookmarks. It is a journey into another mind. I shy away from books that have no spaces for my own musings, but I can tolerate quick scribbles on margins, the occasional underline, and sporadic interjections like “this!” and “wow!” It’s amazing to pick the mind of someone from another place or another time, and sometimes even argue with him. It’s like sitting with a new acquaintance and discovering that you share the same passion for ideas, sentiments, and stories.”
