Paperback v. ebook

Friday I should get a proof of the paperback version of Eight Oregon Plays by Round Bend Press. The Kindle ebook has been out for a while and even sold a few copies. Yet I really look forward to seeing and holding the paperback.

An irony. Although I prefer reading on a Kindle, as a writer I know I'll get more satisfaction holding the paperback than I do seeing the ebook on my Kindle screen. There's still something about book as object, with weight and taking up space with a certain thickness. The writer in me has different preferences than the reader in me.

Maybe this will change over time. But at the moment, I look forward to Friday!
