By design, a text makes a statement as to how it should be read – or if it should be read at all.
A text set with ample whitespace is confident. A text printed on smooth paper is deserving. A text set with a comfortable line length and appropriate leading demands to be read, not skimmed. A text wrapped in cloth deserves to be held, not discarded.
The web cannot replace the printed text any more than the car can replace the bicycle. Rather, they each have their place.

Very articulate.
