I don't care for the aesthetic I just want to read whats on the pages. As long as the pages aren't torn/stained I don't really care.

>escaping the monotony of everyday life's phone screen and computer screen for the horror of yet another screen to dominate your life

E-ink is completely different from any computer screen. Basically the same as an actual book.

there is nothing more soulful and aesthetic than reading used books, you get the feeling of experiencing for the first time the things countless other people held in their hands before you, the older the book the better.
it completely elevates its value for me compared to a newly printed one

Seeing the eloquent hand writing of a literate MILF who's probably dead now in the margins is one of the finest delights for intelligent young men as they parse.

Fuck used books.

I will always prefer a used book to a non-used one.
