Bookreaders Anonymous (Part 1)....

Have you ever felt a swipe of air while opening a new book??..the swipe of mystery,intrigue,adventure and thrill all mixed together to make a non-detectable emotion?...the feeling that there is this whole new world,which will  go undiscovered if you don't read it.This feeling can only be expressed by an avid book reader. Though many people say eBooks and books are the same...I beg to differ. eBooks can never give us the same feeling of an actual book. Something that technology can never capture is the smell of a simple paperback. As the smell of wet ground is irreplacable during the rains...so are books.Tabs,kindles etc. can be cool to look at..but to read??..I prefer going old school. But,sadly....my misery continues..as firstly I don't have enough budget to buy the books I need(I think all book readers can relate)....and secondly, i never seem to have enough space!!...it's irritating!!...I mean I could own a library and not have enough space. That's where eBooks come in handy. It's free and all of the books fit into the tini-tiny tab!!!...it is very accessible and compact...and can be taken anywhere easily. But...I rather read one real book than read a thousand eBooks....reading an actual book is a whole other experience altogether!!!....I may support the advancements of technology made in our generation but I simply cannot agree to eBooks. Going to a book shop and looking at a whole new dimension with 1000's and 1000's of parallel universes captured in the thin bindings of paperbacks....just waiting to be opened....Aah..this feeling can never ever get old.You won't get this feeling while searching for eBooks(believe me...I've tried..but to no freaking avail...). But this problem of storage and money will never end...so thus, in the end we will have to give up to the reaches of technology..we have no choice....I hope someone will light the way and find us an alternate solution.....


P.S- I get that that the last line was a bit "world ending crisis..please help...it's a live-death situation"...but for me it is equal to that..if not more...People who feel this way...please comment and tell me your views on eBooks replacing actual books.....
