If those are the top 2 reasons, I suggest these as 3 and 4:
3) You lose the 'cover' of the book to signal to people what you're reading. Hanging out at Starbucks all day reading whatever it is you're reading is a good way to encourage conversations with other people who like the book/genre/author/style. This might not sound like too big a deal until you realize that teens use this to find sexual partners. (No, I'm not guessing here.)
4) They haven't yet had to lug their $365, hard cover, 800 page, 20 pound edition of "Calculus" from the dorm side of the campus to the science quad a mile and a half away.

- bmelton 15y agoA paper cover? (Or are you talking about something I'm not aware of?) Sure, but if I buy the "To Kill a Mockingird" cover and start reading another book, it doesn't change the cover. The point I was trying to imply without saying it outright is that guys will take different books to places they'll be best received. There's an entirely different vibe in DC's "Adams Morgan" district than there is in the Shaw neighborhood, and the savvy pickup artist isn't likely to be reading the same book in both places.
