I tend to try and ignore them and look at the product.

I can’t wait to see how all this plays out - I think it may even lead to books becoming more special objects which have more care taken over their production (leading to far more pleasure for those of us who love them for their book-ness)

A bit like is happening with records and CDs now. The physical objects are having more care spent on their design by some artists, adding value to them, but because the music is available on iTunes for those who don’t care about the physical object (for me, nothing will take the place of a really well made vinyl record and its packaging - and I’m relatively young, by the time I was first buying music the CD was the staple format).
