I like the idea of it being like the paper for FF 1 first print because I think that looks a lot better than the more glossy paper. But durability is a major factor for me. I am very careful with my books, but I live with cats. Lots of cats. Crazy cats that always jump up into my lap when I am reading. I also like to read outside sometimes and thinner pages could be bad on a windy day. Guess I'll just check it out and see.
