I used speedboat vs cruise ship analogy to try and illustrate how with vinyl (i.e. cruise ship) you get a more muscular, close to the actual action visceral experience. When enjoying a cruise ship, you're quite removed from the contact with water, so your sailing is pleasant, but somewhat mind numbing.
There is another aspect to it: digital reminds me hypertext, as opposed to regular text. If I'm reading a regular book, I usually do it sequentially. On occasion, I may skip a chapter or two, or start from the middle, etc., but that's not typically how I experience and enjoy books.
If I'm reading a hypertext document, I am liable to start clicking on links. Those links magically transport me to other parts of the digital document/book, or even to completely different digital books. That's exhilarating, as I'm now in control of the sequence and the dosage of the content I'm consuming.
But you see, with digital, I lose the organic connection with what the author had actually intended to portray. So in the end, this fast and furious digital diet, where I keep streaming and downloading and skipping all over the place, leaves me hungry and ultimately dissatisfied. That's the reason I prefer the analog, more sequential diet.
