'Cause reading a bound book *feels* more real.  :>  Tangible.


And the tangible can fight for space on the bookshelf, whether a 
published book or an advance reading copy.  Tangible books are like 
comfort food - solidly present.  Is that like how you feel, Casey?

That's how they make me feel.  Walking in a library or bookstore gives 
me that same feeling of comfort.
