Reading on a page and going to ebooks for me was like going from a typewriter to a computer. I PREFER the typewriter/book. It's how I learned to read/write and I did a lot of it and got very good at it in that medium, and the screen, whether for book or writing, always feels wrong. But the truth is I can't find any hard copy book in my apartment unless it's in a couple of obvious places because there are so many endless piles and stacks and triple-filled bookshelves, and the IBM Selectric II I used from about age 12 on chewed up my wrists, left thumb and elbows so badly I got severe RSI that almost prevented me from typing at all for years.

I mean I can feel, in my fingertips, what a typewriter keyboard would feel like under them even now. It would feel like home. It would feel like inspiration. It would feel like dreams and ambition made tangible. It would also probably permanently cripple both my hands in under an hour.
