I agree with you, M0nica, about preferring to read a real newspaper with my morning coffee, and even though I get most of my daily news online, I enjoy taking time out to leaf through the many component parts of the Guardian on a Saturday and the Observer on a Sunday. In the same way that I often tire of my Kindle and pick up a real book. I have to agree with you again, though, on the humourless self-righteousness. There are times when the paper ends up being flung across the room in a way I wouldn't care to risk with my IPad.
