What is a book?

A book is a new world. A book allows your mind too take flight into a world we may have never imagined too be possible. They're an escape from reality. They allow you to become free and without the actual book in your hand you wont be able to feel the same way. Reading from a book is unlike anything else. An author has the option too make pages have a certain texture to them. I believe that every book has different page textures because the author wants that book to stand out. Maybe if the book is a rough, and tough book the pages of that book may be thicker and more durable.  In a kindle you can't feel how far into the book you are, you can't feel the texture of the pages as your fingers play with the pages you've already read while reading the next page. There isn't that old book smell that lets those around you know that you're reading an older book that's been around for awhile. Technology doesn't belong in the reading world, I personally believe. Kindles are taking away all the things that made me fall in love with reading and i wish they wouldn't. Yes, I agree with the fact that the meaning doesn't change, but you don't get the passion that went into those pages. A book is a pizza; when it's good, it's great and when it's bad, it's still pretty good.
