    Yeah, don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy that ebooks are accessible and get people to actually read, but they just aren’t for me. I’ve had ereaders, I’ve tried my phone, I’ve tried tablets. I will and have read an ebook if that’s the only way I can get a story, but I almost always opt for physical books. I just cannot get focused on reading when it’s a screen in front of me, especially when that paper feels so good on my eyes and in my hands. It’s like an entire tactile experience lol

      same, I can’t even enjoy audiobooks - I read so much faster than I listen, and there’s something about the ever-sharp text printed on paper that just works for me.

      Yeah to each their own. I do have a lot harder time with anything that has charts or diagrams when they’re digital. Not sure why but paper just works better. At least historically. Digital is catching up now that I’m getting old and my eyes are going to shit.
