It kinda pisses me off when people get all elitist about preferring paper books to e-books.
Seriously, though. A book’s a book. Some people prefer to have easy access to multiple books through a Kindle or Nook or what have you. Plus the average e-book is cheaper than its paper counterpart. That’s cool, technology’s awesome. If you prefer actual bound paper books, that’s cool too. It does not make you any better than anyone else, though. You aren’t some purist or loyalist to the paper book gods, you just look like an asshole.
Shows you’re a classist and ableist one too, or at least that you’ve never paused to consider whether everyone else is capable of what you are.
In my heart I know I should probs switch over to ebooks to save the environment and such but I just can’t do it guys I just can’t do it
BUT YES if you are reading or engaging with books at all then I am at least a little bit fond of you already :)
