Sans Authenticity or Inscription.
No matter how much lighter my morning commute promises to become (with Infinite Jest on deck), replacing a book with an i-pad seems criminal. For all the reasons mentioned here, I add yet one more: the inscription. The romance of the inscription, which compliments the book's narrative with the pureness of penmanship and the potency of its content, is an irreplaceable delicacy. Still don't agree? Check out the photo to your right and let the inscription-force be with you. (PunTotallyIntended). Enjoy!
