What about marginalia? Paper books let me have a conversation with the text --- and with whoever owned (and marked) the book before me. Not every book needs or deserves this sort of attention, but for those that do, paper is irreplacable.

The kindle has a touch screen so that you can save highlights, and write notes. It also has a feature where you can see which passages have been highlighted by the hundreds of readers before you, and share your notes publicly.

I'm kind of surprised ebook devices haven't got builtin crowd-sourced proof reading.

I see quite a few spelling errors in ebooks. It'd be nice if I could highlight these for potential correction.

This is so pretentious nostalgia. The "conversation" is really the smell of whatever food/water spilled on the book and the tears and folds of the book.
