If you really like a book, you can get a nice archival copy on printed on acid-free paper and only read it while wearing special gloves, and also a working copy that you outline in and scribble in the margins and spill coffee on.
- ghaff 4y agoYeah. Not to criticize anyone else's take but, unless something is some variant of a "coffee table book" meant to be appreciated in part for its form, anything is fair game. Most cookbooks I regularly use have scribbling in the margins as well as reference books of other sorts. I have zero issue with taking notes in a paperback. Perhaps obviously, I like/prefer ebooks for a lot of purposes too. The form of some books is a lot of the experience and in general I won't mess that up by writing in them. But most are about the words and I don't consider the form sacrosanct in any way.
