A couple of weeks ago I subscribed to a newspaper, and opted for print delivery. (delivered digital every day, of which 4 days are also print).
Wow, do I enjoy it, for all the reasons you mentioned. Just the act of folding the page means a natural break to look around, contributing to the "more present" feeling.
Plus, if I take a break from coding I get to stop looking at a screen. And it's a lot easier to recover where I was, since the text has a connection to a physical location.
My spouse also reads it, and sometimes writes commentary to share with me when I read it later.
