I don't understand, how does reading a physical book make it more of a CONSOOM thing than reading it on an ereader? If anything, the ereader lends itself to more mindless consumption due to its limitless amount of books you can get on it.

Probably because some people like to have "display libraries", and others are either too poor and jealous, or have a gatekeeping mindset.
Likewise, fags such as OP and >>21027408 love to troll weak-minded people that are prone to feeling of inadequacy and inferiority.

That's the least retarded explanation you could come up with? In the age when getting unlimited FREE stuff to watch/listen/scroll/masturbate/fry your brain to is easier than ever, you think that spending money is what defines "consoom"?

Yes you have. Kindle is more authentic an experience than reading on a computer or phone screen, and even that is still "reading." You're thinking about audiobooks.

Literally what makes it different in any way? The physical act of turning the page somehow imprints the words more forcefully into your brain? The smell of the book is a crucial part of the act of consuming information? It's the same shit. You see black text on a white page. You read from top to bottom and move on to the next page. How the FUCK is the reading experience of an ereader any different than that of a book? This is the stupidest fucking meme of all time. Shut the fuck up you mouthbreathing morons.

While I prefer reading physical books, kindles/ebooks are handy for traveling and for out-of-print books that are harder to find copies of. It's silly to say that reading off of a screen isn't actually reading.

This is true, and if you read Plato/Socrates, you’d know that he didn’t particularly like reading as a method of instruction.

>And so it is that you by reason of your tender regard for the writing that is your offspring have declared the very opposite of its true effect. If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls. They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.
>What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only the semblance of wisdom, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much while for the most part they know nothing. And as men filled not with wisdom but with the conceit of wisdom they will be a burden to their fellows.
>You know, Phaedrus, that is the strange thing about writing, which makes it truly correspond to painting. The painter’s products stand before us as though they were alive. But if you question them, they maintain a most majestic silence. It is the same with written words. They seem to talk to you as though they were intelligent, but if you ask them anything about what they say from a desire to be instructed they go on telling just the same thing forever.

>on measures related to chronology and temporality, those who had read in the print pocket book, performed better than those who had read on a Kindle
>2018 study involved more than 171,000 readers. Comprehension, they found, was better overall when people read print rather than digital texts.
>evidence from laboratory experiments, polls and consumer reports indicates that modern screens and e-readers fail to adequately recreate certain tactile experiences of reading on paper that many people miss and, more importantly, prevent people from navigating long texts in an intuitive and satisfying way.
>29 of the 33 laboratory studies found that readers learned more from text on paper.
>paper-based reading advantage increased in time-constrained reading compared to self-paced reading; (2) text genre: the paper-based reading advantage was consistent across studies using informational texts, or a mix of informational and narrative texts, but not on those using only narrative texts; (3) publication year: the advantage of paper-based reading increased over the years.
