Read this excerpt from a passage.

It seems clear that some people feel strongly about the superiority of printed books over e-books. Why? First and foremost, when readers choose print books, they choose to experience the physicality of the book: the cover that encloses and protects what’s inside, its relative heft, the carefully chosen typeface and creamy-colored paper. Print book readers enjoy the feel of the book in their hands as well as the texture and edges of each page. Every book is unique. Hotels offer copies of the Bible with black leather covers and gilded pages; a full set of the printed Encyclopedia Britannica weighs as much as a human being; a softcover version of On the Road is pliable enough to carry in a pocket.



What is the intended purpose of this section of the passage?


To give an extended definition of the word physicality.


To discuss the different weights of printed books.


To describe the advantages of printed books.


To examine the book-making process.
