False and arbitrary division. The physicality of the text is an inherent part of it, because words have to be printed in some way - kindle or paper or whatever else.
>>18549886
Yeah, that's a good idea. Sadly I don't live in a main English-speaking country right now, so the English library sections are very limited, but I very infrequently buy a book I really really want to read physically.

All 30 are detailed operational manuals for the 30 robotic Marie Kondo bots I have purchased incrementally with each annual update of the technology. The newer ones are indistinguishable from the real MK. The chapters on emptying the semen recepticle are well thumbed. The scratch off rooting code for activating adult operations is left unperturbed on all cover inserts, as I enjoy the fight.

>The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have. How many of these books have you read?” and the others—a very small minority—who get the point is that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendages but a research tool. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means … allow you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.
