Hey folks, I'm here to tell you about how cool books are.

You can read something completely made up, or about something/someone/somewhere or whatever that was not made up at all.

But if you do it with an ebook, you're a gosh darned idiot. ebooks are stupid as poo poo, because the best part of a book, is the book itself.

First and foremost, that new book smell. Or even that thrift store book smell. Daaaaaamn. Then when you read it you actually get to turn the pages rather than swipe the screen. As a result of that, you get to see the spine of your book grow wrinkles as you work through the book.

Then you get the pleasure of looking at your books on the shelf, with their wrinkled spines, and be like "hell yeah, I remember that book, I'm gonna read it again."

Thread title mentions bad books, I don't think we should talk about them. But talking about how good books are, and even suggesting good books to read is cool ITT.

i think the only people who like physical books have never tried to move house

I understand this because a few years ago I chose to move nearer to family with what I could pack into a sedan. Took most of my books to Half Price Books and got a sum equivalent to a tank of gas for dozens of books I'd read, would have loved to keep, but couldn't travel with. I still like books.

I'm sorry that books are bad now because of USB sticks. This was an unfortunate turn of events I did not see coming.

BIG TIT LIL NIP, I agree. The real book is better, but if you can get people books in their device that is good too.
