>read all books on kindle because it's more comfortable
>if I like the book I buy a copy as an ornament

is this wrong?

Just donate to the author

It's stupid. I hate reading on a screen, if I could ditch physical and be happy with reading on a screen I would. It'd save me money and I'd be able to get rid of these bookshelves and make moving a lot easier because I wouldn't have to pack up hundreds of books.

But for me reading on a screen is simply not as enjoyable as reading a novel in print. I could never give up print books unless I gave up reading as a hobby. I don't try to justify and cope that physical is better or superior, because it isn't. By almost every practical metric it would be better to have a digital collection. But I don't enjoy reading digital books. So I can't.

It's not "wrong", but...

Electronic devices emit harmful electromagnetic fields that disrupt normal cell functioning, so the less you use them, the better. And you retain more information when you read a paper book as opposed to an e-book.

Just something to consider.

Yes. If it wasn't then your guilt wouldn't be asking us.

Yeah I do that
When reading in a foreign language I vastly prefer having a digital text because it makes looking up words and phrases so much easier
Despite that I still buy physical books including expensive editions like La Pléiade

>because it isn't
It is though. The third dimension alone makes it superior.

>‘Objects stabilise human life insofar as they give it a continuity,’ Han writes. Living matter and its history bestow on the object a presence, which activates its entire surroundings. Objects – especially well-designed, historically charged objects, and which are not necessarily artworks – can develop almost magical properties. Undinge is about the loss of this magic. ‘The digital order deobjectifies the world by rendering it information,’ - BCH

the absolute convenience is robbing you of something

>as an ornament
It's just wrong to think of it as an ornament. The book is more of an archivation medium. Something like buying a vinyl LP after you liked listening to the album on spotify. But the biggest mistake you've done is using a picture of a nigger in your post.

It's fine but paying for things is kinda cucky

Just checking, you do know a kindle proper is e-ink not an led screen, it uses black and white microdots controlled electronically so its the ambient light reflecting off the surface not a screen beaming at you

In which part does it say he wants to support the author? tard.

*ding ding ding*
It looks like we got ourselves a major RETARD over here, gentlemen.

You are not doing what I do ARGGGGHH AHHHH FUCK YOU

I find digital more convenient for reading from start to finish but prefer having a physical copy on hand for reference.

>some guy called han said books were magical therefore physical books are better
This is the smartest board?

>>24796796
I'm gonna assume that you are not retarded but just baiting. It would be a real shame if your reading comprehension was this low

For me it's listening to the audiobook on my phone.
