There is a lot to be missed handling a physical book. The last purchased book I had in my hands was an example of one of the finest illustrating many aesthetic and tactile qualities, a hardbound version of The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfus. The construction of that book would have added to the reading experience (i.e. fine paper, an elegant font, fine binding). However, that book also marked my decision to go digital. I sent the book back and purchased a Kindle, my bookshelf. I almost always read on the road, rarely at home where I can take care of a beautiful yet heavy tome. I may save a tree or two or three. Kudos to Amazon for taking Apple's lead and packaging these so thoughtfully. They truly are special in their own way from the moment you have the box in your hands to each time you use them. I just discovered there is a landscape mode, a plus IMO. I may upgrade to the newest Paperwhite this year.
