I love your friend's book images. Ahh, hard-cover books, the feel of the pages, the binding, etc. There are murmurings in the publishing industry about, "Why do we even need to release a hardcover version?" I am a big fan of audio books, less so of e-books. I get the economics and the cultural shifts, but reading, I feel, is a physical act, not purely a mental one. I wonder why it's so hard to affirm the fact that a book is as physical a thing as a painting? E-paintings? I don't think so...
