NO. FUCK THAT. A BOOK IS A BOOK. and i dont wanna sound like one of those eco-freaks. but having a Nook or Kindle at least saves trees in some way
I love the feeling and sight of paper books. I’ve been writing a novel for some time now, and when ever I imagine it published I’m usually holding a physical copy.
That said however, I think my kindle is one of the best gifts I’ve ever been given. It’s easy to hold and to read, it stores a a whole library in on place. I can actually have more books more easily. As a university student it’s also a huge relief to get a course reading on kindle/e-reader, because it becomes much easier to transport. I understand the love of books. It’s a good thing, and an old thing, well at least as old as the general population being able to read. I also think people will still keep owning and buying physical books, but one must make sure to not be biased about a trivial thing such as format. Whether of or not one agrees with the old saying of you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. Perhaps a updated but just as relevant saying might be, “don’t judge a reader by the format they prefer." Also just to have said it, if you are hoping to impress someone with your wall of books, you’ve missed the point of it all.
