Since I've had my Kindle, I've been asked if I don't miss reading a book, holding it in my hands, flipping through actual paper pages. And I've honestly said no. My goal in reading books is not holding bound paper but reading the content. The only thing that I do miss from time to time is the way a paper book may fit into your hands.
I did, however, wonder why the Kindle feels so good? I love the contrast of the ink against the creamy white background. And here may be the answer. It's in the Ink!
E Ink is responsible for the Kindle display and their goal was to make the text on the Kindle look more like a real book and I'd say they've come pretty darn close! Here is more on "Ink and Paper Technology" an article from NPR.
