Is anyone else mad about e-readers?
I mean, is there any one else who just loves the feel and smell of a book? I get that e-readers are supposed to be more portable, and they let you buy books faster and it's lighter to carry around but I think it's still all a load of crap. First of all if you're traveling or flying you'll probably only need 1-3 books anyway so it's not like you're gonna die if you have to carry a few books around. Also, yeah you can buy your books faster but part of the joy of reading is actually physically walking into a book store or library and browsing through aisles of books surrounded by fellow readers and the whole experience is just exciting and relaxing at the same time. Plus kindles and nooks are expensive and on top of that you still have to buy the books when you could just go to the library and check out a book for FREE! It makes no sense to me. You don't need to charge a book, you don't have to worry about cracking a screen and you can read it *drum roll* in the sun! Kindles like to use the slogan, " the book lives on" but really they're just killing the book. I like technology but books are something that should be left alone. I mean i understand ipods and stuff even because they allow you to buy single songs instead of whole cd's but you can buy just a single book so there's no purpose to the kindle. It's just not the same as a book! Ok I could seriously rant about this forever but I'll shut up now and see what you guys have to say.
