Reminder that if you use e-readers you are guaranteed to be either a middle-aged suburban mom or a disgusting virgin. Go support local independent book stores and quit being cheap like a kike.

But the best local independent book store in my city is ran by feminist-types: https://www.page1book.com/reading-the-resistance.html :(

Nothing compares to feeling of a weekend afternoon spent in a sprawling used book store. The smell, the sounds, the comfort.

well you see, that would take me a lot of time, it would give me a more limited choice of books and language and would overall just be 20x more of a hassle than downloading a file that you can find in under 5 minutes.

Not my responsibility to fund other people's dream jobs. Maybe if I was incentivized to go to my local bookstore I would, but right now my local bookstore is trying to sell Franklin Library books for $100+ each to retarded tourists.
I hate living in a tourist trap.

If you cared about the quality of writing you wouldn't care about what medium it is absorbed from. Personally I've read mostly from physical books and at university I started doing a lot more e-reading since my library didn't have everything I needed. These days I'm looking into a dedicated E-reader on the grounds that I don't have the storage space for all the books I have or want.

Because not all of us are like you OP, a larping philistine reading for no reason but the act itself and whatever emotional or mental deficiencies it replaces, and have a need to read certain works that pertains to our research, works that are usually out of print and on sale physically for hundreds of dollars.
