I'm with you. I love books. Love the feel; love the rustle of turning pages; love reading print on a page. Love it. Plus if you drop a book you don't hurt it, and if you get it wet in the bathtub you're only out a few bucks :-) Ditto if you spill hot chocolate on it.

I understand that at one point in the iPad's development, they were using actual sheep. But they found that while sheep are fun to carry around, configuring them to receive email is beyond the capabilities of most users.

Plus they have, like, two apps.
