[ebonical]

I feel the same way in some sense but the idea of desecrating a book usually only arises for me when it's being used as a symbol for some unpleasant cause. This particular book is now serving a new purpose and is loved and appreciated in a new way. Also, for me owning a Kindle certainly hasn't diminished my love of having and reading from printed books. I'd really like to see Amazon offering bundle deals where I could buy a physical copy and get the digital version included.
