Comment on Yes, People Still Buy Booksparent

Comments

Same here, for a couple of years around the time when Kindle launched I was lured by the "have dozens of books at your disposal in a single place" proposal. Bought quite a few e-books at the time, read them but when it got to the point I wanted to share a book with someone I realised I didn't care about having dozens of books in a single device at once, I would normally be reading 2-3 maximum at a time. And I couldn't share an amazing read with someone I was sure would like it as well.

Reverted back to physical books and I don't think I will ever buy e-books again. I just love having them piling up on bookshelves, love when people come visit me and can see some of my interests by peeking into the shelves, and love when someone asks me to borrow one of them.
