True - I miss looking at bookshelves of myself and friends / colleagues / libraries to discover new stuff spontaneously too.

Still, I can take what would have been a big stack of paper with me to the coffee shop / park / forest and like the ability to search for text strings.

Maybe I should see if there is a 'give me a random page' button in my software or if a spotify / netflix style recommendation engine would work well for books and papers.

Have never seen a remarkable in the flesh, though that would annoy me.
