A book, being a physical object, engenders a certain respect that zipping electrons cannot. Because you cannot turn a book off, because you have to hold it in your hands, because a book sits there, waiting for you, whether you think you want it or not, because of all these things, a book is a friend. It's not just the contents, but the physical being of a book that is there for you always and unconditionally.

"It sits there waiting for you." Yes, it does. Just like a friend would do. This is cool!
Books are so reliable, aren't they?
