From Papyrus, to Scrolls to Books: Why E-readers and eBooks Can't Compete with the Soul of a Book

By: Johnson, Jeremy

For over two decades, I've walked the hallowed halls of libraries, a witness to the transformative power of the written word. In From Papyrus, to Scrolls to Books, I share a profound truth: e-readers, for all their convenience, can't compete with the soul of a physical book.

This isn't just about nostalgia. There's a deep, almost spiritual dimension to physical books. The weight of a tome in your hands connects you not just to the words, but to the scribes who etched them on clay tablets, the monks who illuminated manuscripts, the revolutionaries who printed forbidden ideas. The very scent of aged paper, a unique and almost cosmic aroma, carries whispers of forgotten libraries and the relentless pursuit of knowledge across millennia.
