“Well, I used to prefer the written one, of course, because you can underline and you feel you love the smell of the paper and you have a nostalgic associations with the physical book, what it looks like and where you read it, which you kind of lose when you do it on a Kindle. But over time, I realized that these are prejudices that should be let go of because there are other things that are possible with the Kindle which are not possible with the physical book. And for me, as a professor, it really helps me to be able to know that I've read this somewhere, you know, the kind of associations that occur in memory when you're experiencing something, you know, that you have read about this particular aspect in some book, but you don't know which one. And if it was all physical book, you would go crazy looking for that book. But if you just do a search for a term across all your books in your Kindle Library, it comes up in a flash.”

“I have to say that I am envious of you for many reasons. One of them, of course, being that you have a library much bigger than mine. And I have a very large anti-library thanks to you because I end up buying virtually all the books that you recommend. And the list keeps on growing. And in order to find time, I have to compromise many things, but it's really worth it”
