Why the digital book revolution is stupid

   Posted by: Swizec   in Uncategorized

They say the digital book revolution is upon us, that in a few more years everybody reading a dead-tree book will be silly, people with bookshelves fetishists and soon after that we’ll arrange witch hunts against anyone even thinking about killing a tree for t heir amusement.

They also say 2005

I read few e-books, but only because I couldn’t get real ones (and didn’t want to order them…it takes too long). It totally sucked the joy of reading out of it.

I read ebooks on my PDA. It’s small, fits in my pockef, and can contain a small library. But I refuse to consider copy-protected books. I want to be able to keep my books, and that means being able to back them up, and being able to move them to other readers in case my PDA dies. Very few modern free books actually exist. So I still buy and read dead-tree books and I dread the day I have to move into a smaller place for financial reasons.
