Really interesting piece and i used to come from the exact opposite direction in some ways. Bought a Kindle years ago for "comfort and saving money" and thought paper books were just for the nostalgic. Also was into the quest of speedreading as a way to feed my brain with concepts more efficiently than i used to.
Maybe it's entirely subjective, but it lacked so much the reading experience that it just was painful to read and be engaged. Needless to say, went back to paper books, taking my time to read things, and give in to the pleasure of formulating ideas on the things i was reading which implied, also, writing on them. It certainly creates more of a personal bond with the book and with ideas...i don't know if this last bit makes any sense ahah

Wondering how the future of electronic reading will be, though. There will be sure improvements? if so, of what kind?
