AA>"When everything is digital, why we long for media we can hold
  >in our hands"

I can relate to the idea more than a lot of people probably. I own a lot of
albums and have a Dual turntable for my stereo system and I have a fairly
high end CD/DVD Player but have never purchased a CD or DVD.

To answer the obvious question, the DVD player is part of a VCR and I have
made Tapes with something like 350 movies on them..  That said, most are now
so old that they likely no longer work well, if at all. I just don't find
time to watch movies over and over so I've stopped collecting them..

Okay, digital music, I'm not one to carry music with me everywhere I go, I
have a music station on in the car while driving but I don't have the stereo
playing at home all the time. But I do have close to 1000 MP3 Music pieces on
my computer because I do like to have some music on while answring eMail.

The most notable 'hold in your hand' thing would be books. As I've mentioned
before I have a collection of something like 16,000 eBooks but, if a paper
version is available in the library, I will read that instead of an eBook,
even though my Phone, Tablet and Laptop have special software for reading
eBooks in a number of formats.  Normally I will only get into an eBook if it's
part of a series that the Library is missing some parts of, and that's rare.
I read about 150 paper books a year but have only read about 8 eBooks in the
past year.
