As cool as e-ink is and as neat as e-readers are they will never be better than actual books. There is something about an actual book technology just can't replace.

An ebook will never smell like an old used book nor sound like it.

Also the page textures. Some people may not notice but I definitely notice page textures.

Absolutly! Paper quality matters. Older books have a grain to the pages that most newer books seem to lack.

Paper book maxis unite. They won’t rewrite my history

You can't read a real book while pooping at work. Point for pdf on the phone 😆

Correction: you can, but only once

Buy real books before they are banned. Our kids deserve it.

As a trained illustrator and notebook nerd, I surprised myself recently by switching to an e-ink notepad (#Supernote Nomad) and fraking loving it. It took a few weeks, but I’m hooked!
