A book is an alternate world. One where you get to discover new things, open your eyes, and change your views. It offers entertainment, enlightenment, and consolence. In a book anything can happen and that's the draw. A book can answer those what ifs that all of us have. What if I could fly? What if I got hired to solve a murder case when I'm only a journalist? The answers intrigue us and carry us away while engaging our mind and making us feel whole. Books are like an encyclopedia, full of answers without the boredom.
Does it matter if you use a Kindle or a hardback?
No. If it's a good book you'll get lost in the words and the image in your head. If the book is good you won't be focusing on what is in your hand, but what that author wrote. A hardback only helps as a keepsake something to look at and value. Maybe its a gift from a loved one, maybe its the best book you've ever read. But the Kindle offers you that information immediately. But the truth is is that the your experience with the book is all your own and you should pick the form that maximizes your experience. If you prefer hardback that's what you should read, and vice versa.
I agree with you that it doesn't really matter whether you read with a kindle or hardback, as long as you get lost in the book. But I do think that a lot of people prefer hardbacks because they like the fact that they physically have the book.
