The first paragraph is alread bullshit:
Ebooks have full-text search, of course you have bookmarks and a progress bar (not as "nice" but does the trick) and usually pages render always the same on one device. For literature I also doubt I remember less, why would I.
Where paper actually excells:
- good for advanced layouts
- you can find something you know was "somewhere arround XY" but don't have a clear keyword for (More important for literature, but even there full text search often wroks better. I once read a book in print and than wrot about it, I mainly used the epub for quotations and not just because of copy and paste).
- some books are only available in print
- a used print is cheaper than an epub...
- you don't look like a mid 50s housewife in the train
If given the choice I still always take the epub.
- Ntrails 10y ago>you don't look like a mid 50s housewife in the train Stay classy. I far prefer reading real books (on the train and off) myself - but am already having storage issues due to city living...
- anotheryou 10y agoI can totally understand how one could prefer paper books. The last one was a joke :) (And I have no shame sitting in the train with my reader).
