Yup! Not saying you were right or wrong, just throwing ideas into the fray, and seeing what other people think of it. Aren't discussions amazing? :) Anecdotal consensus while not always accurate is often a cheaper, and quicker method of determining the accuracy of certain ideas.

I can agree with people being on the run more often due to the portability of digital devices, but still don't see why you disagree with physical books simply having a greater array of sensory input.




:) Fair enough.

I disagreed with the first point you made, so I think I just had the knee jerk reaction to the whole post.

My disagreement is in most of the sensory input being irrelevant. I can see the appeal at one level, but I also know I find reading from paper bound books borderline annoying if they don't have lay flat bindings. Most of my sensory input is how to get the previous page out of the way without damaging it. A distraction to what I'm reading.
