Writing for Salon, Daniel D'Addario makes the following proposition: "As ebooks strip down and physical books class up, there's one reason left to buy the paper kind: beauty."
D'Addario points out that the New York Times reported that the promise of ebooks has largely fallen by the proverbial wayside: "A format that had originally promised all manner of functionalities was now fairly restrained, similar to an actual book - goodbye, public comments on books, multimedia elements and hyperlinks! Hello potential embedded author autographs, just like the signed first edition on your shelf."
