Look at those beautiful examples of what can be done from a paper book. It’s just amazing… but on the other hand it’s good, that e-books are intangible. You can’t do things like that to them. As a writer I would love my book to be part of a heritage, not a birdhouse.

Good point. Whether print or electronic, or both, what authors want is to be a part of the lasting literary culture. Clever as they are, some of these designs seem almost disrespectful; and surely books that are lasting would not have this done to them.

You know, these are examples of human creativity being spent on limiting a value of p-books - to paper. I prefer using my creativity on increasing the value of e-books.
