Eh. I think it’s mostly because human are hoarders by nature and buying a cheap book every so often to put on the shelf gives you a dopamine rush, more than reading it. Doubt most people would read a book twice.

A book is now a waste of material product. Digital books only please.

Naaah, I love the kindles. Saves space, trees and you never have to repurchase a book due to damage. You can highlight words you don’t know and it instantly gives you the definition right there on the spot. No reading light needed. People that cling to physical books are the same people that think vinyl records sound better. You’re delusional.

No, we just like the sensation of smelling the paper and flipping the pages and feeling the weight. All things a tablet can’t give you. So it’s not that it’s a better way to read, it’s just all these things we love about a physical book, same with vinyl records

True, but so can movies or games. If books aren’t for you don’t read, same as any other medium. Don’t belittle people for that

E-books are handy but we don’t actually “own” them. Lose your Kindle login and good luck trying to get “your” books back.

Partly true, partly wrong. Encrypted books are out of your control unless you decrypt them, which is possible. Many books are sold DRM free, and you can store copies anywhere you like, so they can’t be taken from you. And you’re not limited to Kindle/Amazon, there are alternatives. Like Kobo.

The smell of a book, especially an old one, is also an attraction.

I love physical books. However, I dislike the dust they collect and their collective weight, especially if you move around. I made the switch to digital and carry only one item with my whole library in under 2 pounds of weight and no dust.

Some people like physical books, and some prefer e-books. Whatever you like, but before you say e-books are not for you, do yourself the favour of trying an e-ink bookreader. It’s nothing like a tablet. Visually it’s like paper, and the battery life crushes all tablets. You don’t scroll, you turn the page. Direct sunlight, no problem. Just like paper, only more convenient and consumes less resources.
