… Books let the reader wind down, imagine, think and process what they’re reading slowly and according to the reader’s level of thinking and development

        One thing for sure that make books a winner compared than iPad is books never run out of power / battery..
        I am not an anti iPad person but I find that there is a different feeling when we are opening the paper pages of books.. Scrolling up and down the screen is no match against it 🙂
