> What would you rather read? An AI generated, NLP-infused news article, or a classic novel that’s been around for decades or centuries? I think you're missing everything in between these extremes. "Real" books(as per your definition) can be in digital form as well, ain't nothing wrong with having a kindle.

Interestingly enough, the author doesn't refer to e-books at all. Personally, the fact that "books stop working" [1] if DRM runs out scares the heck out of me, but not enough to stop buying cheap books on Amazon.

  Stripping DRM off books is super easy. I have an archive of all the (audio)books I've purchased, because I still want access to things when a company decides they're no longer interested in the product.
