Buying and collecting physical books when you have either a phone or a kindle is mindless consumerism. People just want to own, collect, gather, horde, display and marvel at their precious little material collections of paper, there is little reason besides vanity, this is an increasingly digital world, reading is more easy and convenient than ever. Your affectation is plain as white and just as empty.

I've no interest in reading on a kindle or phone and I'm sure physical books are better because I lived in places that had blackouts for 2 or 3 days in a row, had no internet and many other problems. Plus, a kindle/phone can break, there is the whole censorship thing, etc.
Books are like knives, old but simple and still the best technology for the task.

Not OP but I just like physical books more. I don't display them, I generally keep ones I've read in boxes. I'm not sure why I like physical books more, I think it has something to do with the process of turning pages. Scrolling or sliding just doesn't feel right for some reason. I don't think physical books are superior or anything like that though.

A smart man would back up his files making this a non issue. What are you going to do when a fire burns down your house and book collection?

[Anonymous No.13903082]

>>13903069
I’d replace the books with more books, just like how you replace your Technology device with another due to faults or change of preference, that cog wheel that powers your brain needs an oiling.
>Fire so books are gone which means your entire collection can never be replaced because they only print one ever copy of a book
