wanting to read a printed book rather than an e-book doesn’t make you in anyway a better person
I can’t begin to explain to you how great e-books are if you have a disability. Books are so inaccessible: they’re heavy to carry, you can’t make the print larger, large print books exist but are horrifically expensive and a book has to be very popular for a large print edition to be printed
I still love books and read them whenever I can but please stop trying to make this a big deal between ‘traditional reading’ and ‘shit e reading’ because different people will use e-readers or printed books at different points in their lives for different reasons and I genuinely don’t think we have to choose between the two I think both will continue to exist and neither is going to ‘kill’ the other
people read in different ways for different reasons AND THAT’S OKAY
